I am so beyond caring what is legal or what is ethical.
When I first got my ereader, I bought all my books then removed the DRM. At some point, I got sick and tired of updating the DRM removal software every five minutes. I also got fed up with ongoing issues removing Amazon's PITA DRM that is on many books... it's been so long, that I forget what it's even called (Topaz?)
Now I get my books where I know they are free of conditions. If the day ever comes when books I buy on Amazon are no strings attached, they will get all of my business.
All of my books are shared between myself and my two grown daughters. I consider this reasonable as that is what what happens with paper books. Until publishers will give me the right to do that with my books, they won't be getting another dime from me.
