That's a bit misleading statement since DRM has nothing to do with copyright infringement.
If you upload, download, yes that is related with copyright infringement, but stripping the drm for your own private use has not yet been tested in court as a prosecutable offense whatever the law says (there are laws against many things in many states here in the US that nobody would even dream to use for prosecution)
As far as I know nobody was yet prosecuted successfully for drm removal, even people who posted methods and such in public. Uploading or making available on p2p or on the Web of copyrighted material is a whole different issue, but let us not confuse the two.
