I am given the book for 2-3 weeks to read. I read it within that time period and then I delete it.
Who have I harmed? I could have kept it on my Sony. Instead, I moved a copy to my Kindle. The only person who can tell the difference is me.

It's like speeding at 3AM on a deserted road. It doesn't hurt anyone, but it's still illegal.
My own issue is not about caring whether people strip DRM from library books or not. I really don't care that much either way. My issue is with the assumption that stripping DRM from library books is legally identical to stripping DRM from purchased books - and I've seen no evidence that truly supports that statement.
