I grew up reading books I hadn't paid for, for which the author had received one royalty payment at some point in the past, but none for the last handful of readers. There's nothing immoral about reading without paying the author--or we'd have to shut down our libraries, our used book stores, and our schools.
Most of the anti-DRM crowd perceives the DRM movement as an attempt to fundamentally alter the way books have always been used and shared.
