I have no problems with removing DRM. I bought the book or the liscene to the book. I should be able to read it on whatever device I want to.
I do not think that because I bought a paper book 10 years ago I can skip buying the ebook and download the pirated version.
If there is not an e-book version of a paper book that I own and want on my e-reader I have no issues with downloading a pirated version. I will only do this on the condition that when the e-book comes available I will buy the e-book.

This doesn't make sense.
So if an e-book is not legally available, you're allowed to download it from an unauthorized source, but if it is legally available, you have to scan your paper version yourself? Why don't you have to scan it yourself in both cases?
