You can even have a DRMed book on a number of devices simultaneously, legally. So if, for example, you have Amazon books on an old Kindle and you get a new model or a device with a Kindle app you wouldn't have to buy the book again in any case. Removing DRM is fine for me, but I definitely won't hand copies of the book to others. I follow the spirit, if not the letter of the law. Sure, it would be great to buy the books DRM free. But a boycott by a few people here won't help much and I just wouldn't get to read the books I want. So I grudgingly accept DRM as long as I can remove it.
