And yet they are both illegal? I would think it is a given at MR that we do not promote/advocate illegal activities?

And in my questionable post, I don't think I advocated for anything, IMO. HarryT is on record as saying/promoting that users should strip the DRM on purchased books.

I'm all for allowing discussion of non-detailed of DRM removal, it makes for some good discussions of the pros and cons ...

And looking at this policy page:

https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/MobileRead#Policy

It seems to imply that Advocation/disadvocation is allowed.

Reading the policy, it looks like detailled discussion Of how to remove DRM is not allowed, yet advocacy for or against DRM and its uses should be allowed.
