It's not a very good tool, then.

You break DRM precisely because you want to violate the authors copyright by making unauthorized copies and forwarding them to other people, for what you -not the author-consider good and sufficient reasons.

Why do people even try to argue with you?
People have listed all sorts of reasons they break DRM: To be able to buy a new device and still keep reading their books (for example, if a Nook owner were to buy a Kindle instead). To be able to read books on devices the publisher doesn't support, or even know about. To buy books in obscure countries. To be able to keep books when formats change. Just to avoid the freaking hassle of having to deal with deliberately broken products all the time. Etc. And all you can say is "pirates pirates digerati pirates!!!"

Tap dance all you like, accuse me of what you will, but violating the author's copyright is what you are doing.

No, that would be my fanfic writing.
