I was not speaking about the law, I was speaking about an agreement. Most sites selling DRM ebooks have terms-of-use agreement that you are asked to read and accept - and at least some of of those agreements are explicit about the removal of DRM. Okay so I have not signed the agreement, does that make breaking it any better on my reputation? Am I not as good as my word? I like to think so, but apparently not everyone holds to the same standard.
