When I asked what would happen to me if I got caught stripping DRM from an e-book for my own use, I meant that in the most practical terms.

Again, I was asking: what would happen to me?

Can we agree that there is not a single known case of a person who has been held responsible for stripping DRM from a legally purchased e-book for personal use? And if that is so, how dare we compare it to such atrocities as child abuse, where the consequence of getting caught should be clear to every sane person? Why fuss so vehemently over a law that, for our purposes, has not even been tested in court?
