It hurts the honest people that aren't aware of how to disinfect their purchases.
Yes, it does and I really hope more honest people will be hurt by that so that more people learn about this. If people continue buying such e-books it's their own fault that the companies don't change.

After all, if even the music companies can change their policies, every other company can as well.

Using calibre to disinfect DRM-infected e-books is not a solution but a dirty workaround.
