as for the troll-like Harry Potter post - what happens is you send a text file with the phrase "I am a harry potter story" inside of it ???
I so much don't believe that post I am almost persuaded to email some HP stuff to my own kindle as a test.
Any laws broken (or not) would depend on where you live, but removing DRM is certainly against the terms of use for both Amazon's website and the Kindle (in both its hardware and software forms).

The Harry Potter story sounds like an urban myth to me, but I think anyone emailing pirate books through Amazon is plain daft anyway.
