Austria as a member in good standing of the European Union is subject to the EU's intellectual property statutes. Under those statutes, downloading content that is not legally available for download is in itself, an illegal act. Though you might want to argue with the European Union Intellectual Property Office, I suspect it's not going to get you much sympathy.
Though I find someone who whines about DRM removal trying to defend downloading content that is not legally available for download to be humourous.
As I've said, your self-contradictions are an endless source of humour and I do appreciate a good source of humour.
