For example, my current computer as a different PID for Mobipocket then the previous computer. Paperback Digital and CyberRead both sold Mobipocket eBooks and both are out of business. If I was unable to strip the DRM, all of my purchases from either shop would be a total loss.

DRM gets in the way and can very easily cause people to lose what they have spent their money on.
