It is NOT a criminal action to purchase iTunes songs and strip the DRM
encryption, as long as you don't redistribute the music yourself.
There's no copyright violation there; DRM is Apple's way of not having
to depend on the copyright laws.  

You are probably going against your contract with Apple (I'd bet
there's a clause dealing with this), but that's not a crime.  

Note that this still doesn't amount to breach of contract (something
for which they could sue you in civil court) because there are no
damages (i.e. you aren't costing them any money as long as you don't
redistribute the music).

Oh, and yes, I AM a lawyer!
