Making DRM removal easy and widespread shows publishers that they're paying a lot of money on programming for a false sense of security--money that could be going into profits.

We cannot just not purchase because of DRM. If we are going to boycott eBooks, we have to contact the eBook shops and the publishers to tell them why we are nt purchasing. If we just stop, then they weill think we don't want eBooks and we'll lose out in the end.
