Stripping any kind of DRM is illegal in the US under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. Most telling is the RealDVD software case that, I think, is still in court. The RealDVD software allows you to make one backup copy of a DVD that is still encrypted! Yet the company has been sued and sales have been stopped. No DRM removal takes place, still the company got sued for allowing users to make a backup copy. However, if you do it in your home and do not distribute the files it is extremely unlikely that you would get sued for DRM removal. Besides, who would ever find out? I wouldn't tell everybody about it, though.
