So why didn't BM (BookMole?) say that or anything like it?

DRM implies that you are a criminal, that you cannot be trusted to own a piece of electronica without sharing it, without depriving Amazon of money. They do not care about their workers, they do not care about their customers, they do not care about anything - except their profit.
Be a sheep. When copyrighted items are removed from your Kindle by Amazon, with or without cause, may you be happy then.

From what I can see BookMole resents being treated like a criminal. I am sure he doesn't shop in any stores because they have cameras, or use the library because they have scanners. Probably doesn't use a bank because they lock most of the money in a safe.
And of course he doesn't lock his doors because then he would be treating others as if the might be criminals.
