This is a good line of reasoning, and it would make an interesting legal case.

I suspect it won't stand because the removal of the DRM provisions that potentially allow to retract access to the media is the point of, well, backing it up.

When you buy media DRM-free, you don't have to pirate anything, you can just peacefully make a copy.

If I'm the consumer creating a backup by downloading from sources typically used for piracy, whoever shared it already broke the DRM, so I don't have to myself, and therefore I don't think the questionable legality of my actions would involve penalties for breaking DRM...
