Removing copyright protection is a criminal act. It is a violation of
the DMCA.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMCA

|It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or
|services that are used to circumvent measures that control access to 
|copyrighted works (commonly known as DRM) and criminalizes the act of 
|circumventing an access control, even when there is no infringement of
|copyright itself.

In addition to violating US law, it likely also violates the license
agreements with those services.

If you want free audiobooks, I recommend http://librivox.org/

Cheers,
