Do you also consider Amazon forcing fulfillment of library books from Amazon's servers as immoral? Yes, I know that Kobo will also fulfill from their servers but the option of downloading the .acsm file and fulfilling through other means is still there.
As for the morality of removing DRM from library books? You don't own the book which is pretty much all that needs to be said.You did notice that Apprentices Alf and Harper made it clear that they did not support removing DRM from loaned books?
