The only "general claim" that I'm making is that to buy books with DRM gives the wrong message to publishers - that customers don't mind buying books with DRM. If you feel differently, that's fine with me; it's purely a personal viewpoint and I'm not asking you or anyone else to agree with me!

Correct me if I am wrong, but it was you who brought child abuse into the equation. How you could even think about such a thing while talking about e-books is beyond me.

We were talking about the case of someone who was arrested while entering the US for breaking Adobe DRM. I simply said that to be arrested for breaking the law in one country even though what you were doing was legal where you actually did it wasn't unique, and used the example of "sex tourism" as another example of such arrests being made (simply because it's something which crops up in the British press from time to time, and so is a thing which most people here are aware of). That is in no way whatseover "equating" the two activities.
