Yes, where I live format shifting is not legal. I do not think it is unethical.

Well I do.
If it is done to read on a device/app other than the one connected to the account (health reasons are probably excluded from this) - because this avoids the legal right to the license payment.
In my community, avoiding proper payment is called theft / misappropriation.
And that's not ethical behavior.
