A gracious and accurate post. I'm afraid we're all guilty of rationalising our shady dealings on occasions, myself not excluded. I can't say that I feel at all icky about either drm removal or circumventing geo-restrictions. But of course whether or not one feels icky is not the most reliable indication of whether an action is moral or otherwise, though it may be a useful guide. I've outlined my reasoning as to the morality of both practices. I don't believe that I am rationalising on this occasion but then again I am hardly in the best position to judge. The fact is that I would still support both practices in any event, even if I did believe they were morally wrong. Perhaps partly because they don't make me feel at all icky!
