Tom,
I fully understand that you don't want the forum sued for promoting illegal activity. However, last year the Library of Congress removed restrictions on removal of DRM where:
Literary works distributed in ebook format when all existing ebook editions of the work (including digital text editions made available by authorized entities) contain access controls that prevent the enabling either of the book’s read-aloud function or of screen readers that render the text into a specialized format.
Although not explicit, LoC will probably eventually hold that owners of DRM protected media and devices to remove the DRM for personal archival purposes or for transfer to a new device once the old device is no longer supported. This would be consistent with other rulings.
Why should the forum not consider softening its policy on the discussion of DRM removal in cases were piracy is not discussed? Sorry if this was asked and answered.
