I agree with HarryT that there is no need to worry just yet.
I as well remove DRM from every book I buy from Amazon the day I buy it. But I buy every book I own from Amazon so it is not a piracy thing at all. The day that I can no longer remove the DRM is the day I can start buying books from other vendors and even other devices (although I remove DRM and convert to epub for archive I own kindles and just read them downloaded from them.) So, not too worried about it. In some ways it could be liberating
