I'm pretty sure you purchase licenses...especially to eBooks. Even real books...just ask the library. That's part of why it's illegal to resell a book with the cover ripped off.
It's the same for your iPod, and even all the DVDs you rent or buy. You think you own stuff...but you have purchased the license to a copy of something.
If you violate the terms of the license, the copyright holder could technically withdraw your right to use the item in question.
It's what DRM is all about...it's pre-emptive copyright enforcement.
If you strip an eBook of it's DRM, that I can only imagine that you are violating the license you purchased. That is, essentially, the first step in 'pirating' something.
The good news is that, as I said, the makers or Calibre are a much better target than you are.
