Ohboy! My pet peeve .
Let's repeat: if you download an ebook (or a song, a movie or anything of the sort) your trespass isn't thief, it's copyright infringement. Which is very probably way less potentialy harmful to society than you "speeding a little".

I'm fine with the idea of stripping the DRM off a book I've paid for to preserve my use of it even if it may violate a law. I'm not ok with taking a book without the owners being compensated for it.
You know, "compensated" is a very interesting way to put it. It suggests that anytime anybody reads a book, its author is hurt and must be compensated for that. And here I thought the worst that could happen to any writter was NOT being read...
