I'm a believer in the rule of law and I believe society is damaged when people ignore laws.
That being said, I also believe in civil disobedience when needed.
In between I see a few ethical gray areas and I think the current state of stripping DRM for facilitating the access to which you are entitled falls there.
I'd prefer the laws were clarified to protect the reader.
[EDIT: This assumes for the sake of argument that it IS in fact illegal now. That 9th circuit court decision is certainly disturbing, but hardly conclusive).
