For one, the provisions of the DCMA actually do bar DRM stripping explicitly. There is a fair use exception , but its not clear that it covers all the uses Mobile Readers say it covers. Backup and archive yes: sharing with others no. Even then, that's just my opinion; a federal court judge might say no.

Where have MR members advocated SHARING of the books? Nowhere in this discussion or any other I have read.
The support is for DRM stripping for format changing and for easier back up and file handling, NOT for sharing.
There is no arguement that sharing of the ebooks is not legal.
