This is still off-topic, but: If a user was to remove the DRM of a rented or loaned book and read it only for as long as he is allowed to, after which period he deletes all files, it wouldn't be any more unethical than removing DRM from a book you own. I know that this assumes lots of good will on the part of the user, but I'm still not totally embittered and have some faith in people left, despite my growing age
