Well, in that case, I really can't argue with you. I believe that what you're doing there is wrong. If a company happens to sue you over that (although I doubt they will), that would not be a valid defense.

What do you mean by illegitimate customers? Is it if you bought a book that is sold only in certain region by pretending to be resident of this region? Or one who bought a book legally and then removed DRM illegally? I can't really comprehend the concept of "illegitimate customer" because blaming the customer sounds so Soviet.

By illegitimate customer, I mean a customer either like the above, or one who did not purchase the product at all. In other words, what I mean by an illegitimate customer, is a customer who did not obtain their copy of a product through official methods.
