We don't need to assume that she was honest. If she was dishonest she was really stupid at covering her back.
So I think it's a valid guess that she was clueless and that is bad. I'd rather people wouldn't buying DRM ebooks but I can't force them not to but if they do they should be fully aware of what they are doing and what can happen. IMO Lynn didn't know and cases like this help to inform people.
BTW, buying DRM-infected ebooks with terms of use that explicitly disallow removing the DRM and then removing the DRM isn't gaming the system?

Cases like this show what Amazon can do (remote wiping MY device that I own!) and these things happen. If people don't know this, they can't make informed choices.
DRM did, does and will hurt innocent and not so innocent people. That's a fact. The sooner the more people are aware of the consequences and the less surprising damage will happen in the future.
