There are always more than 1 side of the story. There are many cases a DRM is used and the original company closed down and users are stuck with digital goods that can no longer be used since the original company are busted. Now I think Amazon is here to stay and they really strike for good customer experience and service. I don't encourage people to misuse tools, but as some poster point out that there are library books that uses the Mobipocket platform but unfortunately is not supported by Amazon today.
I certainly don't think users should deDRM the book and post it online. THAT WILL BE VERY WRONG and in some countries, that will be breaking the law. I also think user who deDRM the book and use it on a platform not yet supported Amazon somewhat takes advantage of Amazon. (I know I will get flame by this but hey, its a forum). Amazon builds the infrastructure and has to continue to invest R&D to move technology forward. When the ecosystem becomes unsustainable, its hard to justify companies to invest. I think users will understand that given Amazon/Jeff Bezos have stated numerous times, it is Amazon's vision to make available every book in every language in 60 sec. Amazon is working toward that vision and ebook users will embrace that. That's why I trust users to do the right thing.
It's not an adversary system between users and Amazon.
Moreover, this forum management have stated numerous times that they do not support breaking the law. Igor's tool in this thread certainly does not do that. (Now we know his other tool probably may be more questionable =D).
