Isn't DRM stripping, which you admit you do, also then an illegitimate action?
How many e-books do you own that aren't already widely available on pirate sites? Do you really think that the single copy of an e-book you make for a friend is somehow THE copy that's going to end up on all the file-sharing sites? The book was probably already uploaded five minutes after it was published.
