Generally:
Removing DRM necessarily involves making a copy of the product. You are only allowed to do that within the parameters the copyright owner has set out. Unless they have allowed DRM removal, you are violating their copyright by making your DRM-free derivative work.
Same issues as ripping CDs to MP3s.

Thanks for the link. I think my point stands. The government will not take you to court for removing DRM from something you have obtained legally.
That the copyright holder might do so is true but, as mentioned, the same is true of ripping CDs.
