I can understand from business to business to protect their property within their company, which could have sensitive information.
I don't agree with the position of breaking the agreement is very wrong here, you are trying to equate breaking DRM to promising your mom you'll take her out to dinner on her birthday, and not showing up....two different things.
Stripping DRM to suit my use on a reader isn't even a moral issue for me. And holding to my word to my wife, and holding to my word on DRM restrictions are apples and steaks, not even in the same classification.

Agreed, what seems immoral to me is the seller expecting me not to read the book on my device or to go out and buy a device just to be able to read the file. My only moral obligation is not to distribute the file.
