Even if DRM stripping is illegal, they have to catch you. If you do not upload the books you strip so others can read them, how are they going to know? In most countries that are represented on these boards the Police would need a search warrant to inspect your computer and find any evidence of drm stripping. The only ay for them to get a search warrant is to have probable cause. The only wy they have that is if you are illegally up loading or down loading books to the net or you send letters to folks saying that you are breaking the law.
I am not saying that there is not a possibility of legal trouble, just that it is very, very slim. And the police have bigger fish to fry than one removing drm for their library. But that is me.
There are many stores that you buy mobi books. Any independent bookstore will sell mobi. All of the sites with public domain books have mobi. The only disadvantage to mobi outside the US is lack of library access.
