What comparison is it????
You won't remove DRM because it's breaking the law.

Speeding is also against the law.

Removing DRM is probably illegal in the US, too. The DMCA forbids tampering with copy protection, so essentially the only digital media you can still legally copy for personal use is a music CD, as CD audio has no copy protection. Copying a DVD/Blu-ray/video game/e-book would be illegal. The DMCA gutted the concept of fair use.
A federal court has ruled that breaking DRM for fair use is legal.

While I joke, sticklers of the rules will always have the moral high ground. There isn't much justification that can be provided for breaking any law.
I would think most people would disagree.

Really? You can think of no justifications for breaking a law? Someone is hitting me with a club? I can't defend myself without breaking the various laws around assault so I have to let myself be beaten to a pulp or worse? And then there are the plain bad laws which often end up being tossed out by the courts.

As for DRM removers automatically being criminals? That depends on where you live. Removal of DRM from purchases for the purpose of making backup copies has been held as fair use in several countries.

Yes, this is very true. And I honestly have never received a DM request here, nor sent one, asking to share or trade assets.
