Yes it's not wholesale piracy, but it is pretty obviously discussing a way to automate the process of removing DRM and sharing your books.

From the mobileread FAQ (link is at the bottom of the forum):



Don't take it personally, you simply can't discuss how to remove DRM on this site, there's no need to get mad about it.

I did not infer from your post that you were sharing the books between all members of your family.
However, that particular feature COULD EASILY be used for piracy and so the Moderators were being ultra careful (though not particularly tactful ). As was said previously by soulfuldog, don't take it personally.
Well, I'm not taking this at personal level, I'm only complaining about double standards. Same person closed thread, talks about de-DRM without trouble (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...2&postcount=12).

I think we need to be more free, and defend our freedom with less hypocrisy and prudery. You can read here my reaction (http://kindleman.blogspot.com.es/201...nueces-de.html). It is a little bit literary Spanish, then automatic translator doesn't do a good job and I don't know enough English to create an equivalent translation.

I'm not angry with HarryT, I'm angry with the system.
