@ScalyFreak,

Somewhere on MR there is a thread about someone losing access to all their ebooks because the publisher yanked them from the store (Feedbooks? I think. Meh.) and asking whether or not it would be appropriate for them to replace their several thousand dollar purchases via library "liberation". And about 100 people calling the OP a dirty thief for even asking the question.

MAYBE Amazon will prevent that sort of thing from ever happening to their customers. But I do know that if it DOES happen, 60% of MR will blame the victim for not DRM-stripping and backing up everything.
