It has nothing to do with how you or I feel. It has to do with the
fact that the average joe who likes to read the latest John Grisham has no choice but to buy DRM protected e-books.

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" of another example of such arrests being made (simply because it's something which crops up in the British press from time to time). That is in no way whatseover "equating" the two activities.

Someone mentioned before that sex tourism in Thailand is illegal. This fact alone makes your example invalid. Even if it had been valid, I don't see how pointing out such an extreme would help this discussion in any way.
