[QUOTE=sabredog;1899969
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.[/QUOTE]

Why do you think you have legally bought it? I think that fooling people or computers to buy something you should not be able to buy is a kind of piracy also.
