Right. DRM removal is a tool people can use so they can read an eBook they BOUGHT from the store of their choice on the device of their choice. It doesn't have to have anything to do with pirating or sharing.

I can promise that I will never pirate or even illegitimately share an eBook. There are many "cheap reads" from .99-2.99, Baen (as has been noted) rocks, my public library has a good eBook selection (yes, I return and delete properly), and Gutenberg.org is great for legitimate free eBooks. Also, I was raised to not steal and I want authors to get paid. I even feel a little guilty when I buy a used pBook. Pirating is not necessary.
