I disagree. Ultimately, it is what we decide; if we don't like it We'll leave.
Perhaps, but if someone decides they don't like x and leave a given site then they are still in effect following the rules that the site owner set up. And it's far better to follow a rule that has a reason for existing than see the site itself be taken down. Which is probably what would happen if the rules against discussing DRM removal weren't enforced and the authorities were to become involved. It maybe almost impossible to get info. off the web once posted but there is no such difficulty with bringing suit against someone who flaunts the law. And I doubt the people who own the server that Mobileread is hosted on want to chance becoming co-defendants in a legal action either.
