Reprehensible. I'm on the side of the fence that says removing DRM from my ebooks is okay -- I have unfond memories of companies shutting down their DRM servers leaving me with useless chunks of data, the last one being when Microsoft turned off their DRM servers for Microsoft Reader. My opinion is that removing DRM from borrowed books is not morally acceptable -- they are a time limited loan and not your ebook.
