Yep, then I guess I would be a "criminal". Imagine me doing a horid thing such as reading ebooks that I purchased.

Billl... I admire your conviction. But, there are books I want to read that are only available in ebook form with DRM. It is not such a religious issue with me. Of course, I prefer DRM free (or a format I can crack) but that is probably more psychological than practical... as long as I can read it. I could of course buy the DRM free versions (pbook) and convert them (scan/ocr) myself. But, that is just to much trouble for me. If it were as easy as RIPPING a CD I would certainly do it. But even that some have said is not a decided leagal issue.
Lets not make this thread about DRM. I don't think that ever was intended. See the neverending thread thread.
