The question, to me, is why should we need the retailers permission and/or support in order to be allowed to give an item as a gift? What ever happened to buying a product and then doing whatever you (legally) want to with it. Give it as a gift, resell it... whatever.
It's a shame that the corporations have used DRM/DMCA to take away what should be consumer rights, and consumers seem to act like this is normal.
In a sane world there should be nothing wrong with stripping DRM for a use that is already legal under copyright law.
