That would be an interesting fact to find out. My process is, buy book (usually from Amazon), strip DRM on the way into Calibre, sideload to my Kindle out of Calibre.
Now, if I go online with my Kindle and Amazon scans what is on it, if they find the book I bought (where I followed the sequence above) and call it "pirated", then their counts are going to be off. Of course, they may call me a pirate for doing the above. But I don't consider that pirating. It's my book that I paid for and I don't want to end up getting screwed again, like B&N did to me.
