In the Netherlands, it's also illegal to remove copy protection.
However, it -is- legal to make a copy for your own use/backup.
Over here, the right to make the copy supersedes the restriction to remove the copy protection. At least, it was like this a few years ago.
Either way, I don't care. If I buy something, it either has no copy protections (like GOG.com games), or I already know how to remove them (Amazon and EPUB2 books on ADE 2.0.1). If I can't get my media without copy protection by either buying it DRM-free or removing it, I don't want it at all.
@Macblaze: Yes, you can redownload the ASCM file. To redownload the book, you have to authorize your device with ADE, and use the same account you used when you first got that particular book. It won't work with any other account. The ASCM-file gets generated and then stored/locked to the account that first uses it.
@Sirtel: Adobe has no support, like most large companies. The best you can hope for is a help desk person who actually KNOWS what they're dealing with. If not, you'll get to talk to someone who just blindly follows a script, and you'll get nowhere. You'll actually never speak to Adobe itself.
