Quite frankly I don't give a rat's a$$ about the legality of the removal of drm. 1. No one is going to know about it. 2. I don't care what they say, if I paid for it, it is MINE! Since I'm not going to sell it, upload it, or even give it away. I will do whatever I have to to make sure it's stays in my possession!
Well said; I agree wholeheartedly. I don't pirate, but the books I've paid for are mine, to read on whatever reader I've bought in the past or will choose to buy in the future. And I don't want my library tied to the fortunes of any one company. DRM only hurts the legal consumer, not the pirates.
