There are many people for whom DRM removal is not easy or trivial, even after reading that famous blog.
The point is, people shouldn't have to whisper in hushed tones, to do a Google Search for Apprentice Alf, after they have bought a book, to be able to keep said bought book for themselves.
That is why DRM is evil to me. That is why I will borrow a DRM laden book from the library, and then buy the physical copy for unlimited freedom and actual, honest to goodness ownership.
I consider DRM laden books to be nothing but "previews" of real books as it stands at this point.
