I'm neither justifying DRM removal nor comparing relative moralities.

Who is?

This all reminds me of the old joke:

"Would you sleep with me for $10,000?"
"Yes."
"Would you sleep with me for $10?"
"Of course not. What do you think I am?"
"We've established that; now we're just negotiating price."

You can talk about absolutes or you can talk about comparitives, but not at the same time.
