"you can always remove the encryption and make a backup copy for yourself. That's legal. "

Can you provide a link to the "That's legal" part? I assume you are aware of some judicial or legislative action whereby the DMCA has been interpreted so as to permit breaking of encryption when it's for the purpose of backing up personally owned media.

Ok let me correct that. It used to be legal , or at least not proven to be illegal, prior to a 2004 ruling. However there is growing support for a DMCRA.
