If this question has been asked and answered oft times before, then please excuse my ignorance in advance .....

Does your country (each person's) specifically have rules / regs / laws / that say one can not break DRM on a purchased ebook in order to read said ebook on a device of their choice? (I am not talking about copying the book to other persons)

If there is some kind of caveat written by the seller into the purchase 'agreement' of the ebook stating that one can't read the ebook on any other device, and no State / Federal law regarding this issue, then any inconsistency would more likely than not (?) go in favour of the State / Federal law than the selling agent's intentions - that is no binding reason why a person can not remove the DRM.

I'm not sure that Australia has a law that says that I can't remove DRM in order to read a book that I have purchased on any device I choose.
