Or removing a speed regulator installed in my car and driving the speed limit by my own will.

I don't think the speeding thing is quite the same either way though. One being a clear law that's a matter of life and death if I ignore it... the other, well, you know. Not the same.

All I know is that the DRM is there so I only read the book within the 2-3 week period, and I'm still only reading the book within the 2-3 week period. I can't bring myself to see how I should feel the slightest twinge of guilt for that.

I'm going to leave it at that, since I need to go and I'm repeating myself now. Talk to you later.
Jaywalking on a deserted road is still against the law. Nobody is going to get hurt. But it's not legal.

Having a copy of a library eBook converted to be usable on the Kindle is also not legal. Nobody is going to get hurt as well. But still not legal.
