Perhaps you should define the reasons that a person would want to break DRM.
If it's to read a library ebook on a Kindle, then it's hard to see where any damage is inflicted by removing DRM and converting the file to mobi.
If it's to back up a DRM ebook that you've purchased, that seems to be a reasonable expectation. You can do that with most software.
I can't think of any other legitimate reason to break DRM. But then I'm just a newbie in this EBR/ebook world.
Neither of the above activities have criminal intent in mind. Neither of the events take away a sale or causes any financial harm to anyone.
So the existence of DRM for those purposes seems pointless and it is hard to understand that you're actually breaking an agreement... or so it would appear to me.
Which is why I asked earlier what exactly gets d/l'd to your EBR when you snag a DRM book.. or a DRM-free book, for that matter.
