What I do have an issue with is DRM removal for the purpose of just giving a copy of a book to a couple of your friends. They give copies to their friends, and it quickly reaches the point where you have a serious piracy issue.

Agreed giving a copy to a friend is a theft, it also quickly becomes something that runs
counter to human nature. While people may be generous and willing to aid those in
need, they are reluctant to be taken advantage of. We may not be as possessive as a
Dalic, but we humans tend to want to keep the things we purchase for our own use.
As to your oblivious friends ensnared by Amazon, my condolences.
