It is not universally illegal in every jurisdiction. Cracking DRM is mostly illegal. That is why circumventing DRM mechanisms do not use a brute force, or smarter, method to crack the DRM, but merely circumvent it with a known key. Legality of jailbreak also depends on your jurisdiction, especially if an EULA is enforceable and or legal in the first place.
Of course, the publishers and companies that sell you ebooks and ebook readers want you to believe you are a dirty criminal for exercising rights as a consumer.
