That some are willing to go through such extreme contortions to comply with rules that can't possibly be enforced would impress me if I were a better person, I suppose.
But I'm not, so I'm left shaking my head.

So, you're perfectly happy with living in a grey zone? I agree that lending someone your Kindle, without making any copies shouldn't be a crime. Hence, the laws need to change.
If people aren't aware that they are committing a crime, the only way we'll make them work for change is to make it blatantly clear that what they are doing is a crime, such as the laws are written today. If Belfaborac was indited and sentenced I think you would get a huge uproar, people want to handle their eBooks the way they do their pBooks. As long as these questions are only discussed at MR we will not see any change in societies laws.
