DRM doesn't stop anything, period. It really doesn't matter where you approach it from, the answer is still the same.
Although I don't get how this addresses DRM-stripping at all, a focal point of my and most other peoples' posts. DRM-stripping has nothing to do with piracy necessarily. It's far more likely to have something to do with... casual sharing. Do try to follow along.

granted there are some books that i haven't been able to break drm on but i'm sure they're only a calibre update away.
i understand the arguments but i simply come down to refusing to be "double dipped" by publishers when i want to share a book with my wife. thats like needing to buy 2 copies of a movie if you want to watch it with a friend.
