The DRMA (Digital Rights Millenium Act) ,a US federal Law, makes it illegal to copy,convert or remove copy protection from any file,disc... regardless of other Fair Use laws.

So copying and converting the above list is legal only if ther is no copyright software/hardware involved.

There is an exception that says you can break the DRM on an ebook if the DRM prevents the use of the speech function.
