Not everyone knows about stuff like Project Gutenberg. The OP said himself he doesn't know much about this particular tech. Did you bother to ask before you started looking down your nose?
I still find it really funny that this group of people is getting uppity about this. You may be a seemingly rare exception on this site in action, but even you say you aren't very bothered by the illegal stuff other users here do.
I could certainly argue harms of breaking DRM for any reason, even personal (though I think the solution is to get rid of DRM as it currently exists, not make it more strict). If the only reason you cite is "those are the rules" for why you follow it, why are some rules more sacred than others?
Quite a fragile perch you guys have yourselves on...
