I don't worry about the legality of stripping DRM, since I'm not uploading anything and I know that there isn't ANY chance of them coming after me. I simply want to keep what I bought since it is now my property. I don't care if it is paper or a digital file. I bought it, it's mine.
And for anyone who is stupid enough to TRUST or believe any BS that a company spouts, that's such a deplorable lack of common sense it boggles the mind. Businesses operate for their benefit and to make money, not for you. If they see an opportunity to screw you over, believe it they will jump on it!
We have all seen ebook stores come and go and take people's books with them all because they "didn't know", took it for granted that they would always be there, or are simply lazy.
This may have been acceptable in the beginning since we didn't truly know, but all these excuses are not acceptable now umpteen years into the digital world. If you have no common sense or sense of keeping what you bought and paid for, you deserve whatever you get if they suddenly disappear.
But if you care about keeping your property then do the common sense thing and download and back them up.
