Your first sentence is unassailable.

This is less so. DMCA amends what you call "copyright law" and
is, therefore, "copyright law" until the courts decide otherwise. Until then, I'd be hesitant about violating it based on your own understanding.
We can all hope and hold our breath for favorable outcomes to
pending cases but until then you are likely in violation of the DMCA (and currently, copyright law) when violating an existing license (and
definitely if you're circumventing DRM protection to do so).
But it's possible I'm wrong and am freely able to yank the DRM from a .MOBI so I can read it on my other devices--which would be awesome.
