Also, like nekokami pointed out, removing DRM isn't even necessarily illegal depending on where you are.

I agree. There is a huge difference, morally, from downloading or distributing books you never paid for and stripping DRM from a book so you can take advantage of all of your fair use rights. In the first case, the author and publisher is denied income they are legally (and I would say morally) entitled to; in the second no harm is done to that author or the publisher.
