Did you ever consider that those that need help to remove the DRM are real customers, who bought the book and NOT pirates?

Exactly so. What if you decided to update or replace your ereader with another type that requires a differing format? (Kindle to Sony for instance).
Living in a country that is heavily region restricted, I often go through hoops to be able to buy an ebook I want to read. I do not care what format it is, simply that I have LEGALLY purchased it and ensured that the author is paid (however little their publishers pay them). If the format is different and not one my Sony can display, I remove DRM and convert it.
