This is my attitude. Law is totally screwed up right now. Free Market is good - companies can manufacture wherever they want - China or wherever - but consumers must obey region coding on DVDs, geographical restrictions on books, and other nonsense. How does that make sense? The free market should work for consumers as much as it should for companies.
Companies can dump whatever restrictive, ridiculous DRM they want on digital products, but the consumer has no rights to fix it under the law. It doesn't make any sense.
Stick with what is moral instead. Did you purchase a copy of the book? Worry about that first.
