A personal example.

Last year sometime, I purchased three L. Sprague de Camp books from Amazon. All three were published by English publisher Gollancz, on their Gateway imprint. Sometime between then and now, they were no longer offered in the U.S. and they now longer appear on my "Manage Your Kindle" page. If they hadn't been download and DeDRMed, I would no longer have access to books I paid money for.

I download and remove DRM.
