Yes, for personal use, it is legal. And I v already had at least one year experience to move the DRM protection. And the tool I use is WinX DVD Ripper for Mac,maybe you can have a try.

Not to beat a dead horse, but removing DRM from any kind of electronic file, whether for personal use or not, is illegal.
It is illegal to take, say, a protected MP4 file (like from the iTunes Store) and use a program to remove the DRM from that file -- even if you're doing it for personal use. The only "legal" way to remove the DRM is to burn an audio CD, then re-rip the CD into the format of your choice. If the "DRM Removal" programs are doing this type of conversion, all is well and legal -- although I highly suspect they're not.
There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it -- it's illegal, and the legality of doing it doesn't have anything to do with your intentions (e.g., personal use, resale, piracy, etc.).
Read the DMCA.

New rulings may allow circumvention of DRM for "fair" and "personal" use cases:

However, this just proves that during the time the subject of this thread was actively discussed, circumventing DRM for personal use was, in fact, illegal.
