That's my feeling on the matter. And, as bwaldron said, it would be massively bad PR if they tried. I'm going to keep on as I have been, merrily stripping DRM from my legally obtained content for my personal use only. I wouldn't feel right encouraging others to do so, however, since I can't really guarantee they'll never get in trouble.
