I am just looking for specific examples in the current timeframe and I am not doubting that they exist although I have seen some pretty rude remarks made to posts actually claiming that this happened to the poster.

All I am doing is volunteering to collect the data if anyone wishes to post it or PM me with it.

Simon & Schuster have almost no way to get in contact with someone about a faulty eBook even though they do sell them on their website. I bought one where it was messed up. I tried to find someway of contacting someone to inform them of the issue. I was unable to. So I stripped the DRM and found that the problem lay in the CSS which was a mess. I was able to clean up the DRM and thus fixed the error.

Another issue I had with an eBook from S&S was that the DRM license was screwed up and I was unable to read the eBook I purchased. Stripping the DRM allowed me to read the eBook.

These are two examples of how stripping the DRM allowed me to actually read what I had purchased.
