Now someone else might say well yes there is, I placed the DRM on that book and I would very much prefer if you did not strip that DRM, in fact I am telling you that it is wrong to strip the DRM from that book.
It would be unethical and immoral to not explain to everyone that they have been, are, and forever will be, able to do whatever they want whenever they want, just try to be nice please thanks.

I'm not debating the issue of DRM stripping for eBooks that one buys. The issue is that library eBooks are not the same. You are borrowing them. There is no buy and keep. The library eBooks are supposed to stop working when the time is up. So if you have the DRM removed and have them past the time limit, you should be paying a fine like you would for borrowing a pBook and keeping it past the date without renewing it. It's like jumping the gate at the MBTA (public transportation) for a free ride. Sure you get the ride and it's free. But it's still not right.
