Harry - how would you regard removing DRM and giving a copy to a friend, if the original copy is deleted (so that only one copy exists)? If I then trust my friend to delete his copy when he gives it back there is still only one copy in existence at any one time. Would you regard this as ethically sound, and if not, why not?
