The people reading this thread to figure out how to do it obviously inherently disagree with you on the morality of the issue and it just needlessly stirs up trouble.

Indeed. I stand corrected. It's not morally ambiguous. It's morally abhorrent.
It's buying a device that is subsidized by ad revenue and then purposefully disabling those ad's via a non-supported method in order to steal $30 away from a corporation.
I've reported the thread. I doubt mobileread wants to receive C&D letters from Amazon. Last post on this subject (at least in this thread) from me.
