The forum has a policy against discussing the removal of DRM. Just like adding DRM, in certain cases, removing DRM for personal use is legal in the US. Nevertheless, when threads venture into the topic of DRM removal they are frequently terminated by the moderators. For many members of the forum adding DRM is more offensive than removal and is an attempt to circumvent the long respected first sale rule which allows a consumer to own and do as he or she pleases (short of illegal distribution or modification) with his or her copy of the work.

Perhaps if the forum moderators are going to prohibit discussion of DRM removal regardless of its legality, they should do the same with DRM addition. Personally I would like the forum to allow all discussions but, if you are going to prohibit topics that some find dubiously legal then you should should ban all such topics. I'm just sayin.....
