Stripping of DRM is not allowed in the Netherlands (as far as I know).
You can only sell ePub books with a watermark, not Adobe DRM (or Kindle/Apple) books.

Ebooks in the Netherlands are only sold by Centraal Boekenhuis. They have made a big effort to promote the use of a watermark instead of Adobe DRM (making it cheap for publishers to convert their books to watermark).
Because of this the majority of Dutch ebooks these days are sold with a watermark instead of Adobe DRM (in January 2013 74%).
