While it's legal to make a copy for personal use only, it's illegal to circumvent any form of DRM for that.

You are allowed to own a copy of protected media, but you aren't allowed to make a copy.

So wait, basically, the only way you can get a fully legal copy for your personal use is if someone else breaks the DRM instead of you?
