My answers didn't quite meet your requirements, but I'll answer the question anyway. It's an issue with me personally because I was not required to lie to obtain the ebook in question; I did not promise I wouldn't remove the DRM from the ebook; and the question of whether or not DRM removal for personal use is illegal in my jurisdiction is gray enough for my tastes. Plus, as I mentioned, I'm not trying to convince anyone that my decision to remove DRM is justified. I'm not claiming to be on the side of the angels.

Irrelevant. You're once again pushing the false narrative that the only two choices available are "traveling" or piracy.
