But the EULA that you don't read and don't have to read and don't even get shown when you buy eBooks also says you don't have the right to strip DRM.

I had an Amazon.com long before there was a Kindle and even before Amazon started selling eBooks. I was never told or shown and made to click some box saying I've ever read the EULA for Kindle eBooks. So I'm thinking that the EULA is not really valid as I've never had to read it or even say I have. I can claim I never knew about it. I can claim Amazon didn't make it known I had to read it. So really, the EULA for most eBooks is useless.
