Publishers and Authors seem to equate breaking DRM with "theft" of their product.
Almost all of the breaking of ebook DRM is by those who have purchased the ebook,
and just want to use it on the device/s of their choice and have a more secure book
that will not be subject to obsolescence.
DRM has nothing to do with "Pirating", popular books get Pirated before the ebook
version is released. (In the case of Harry Potter, years before.)
Removing the DRM from the ebooks that you buy, does not make you a thief, nor is
there a loss for the author or publisher.
Having DRM on an ebook, has no impact on the priates, at all.
Luck;
