Since there are lots of non-DRM books out there, more than I could ever read in the rest of my lifetime, I generally avoid buying DRM books in the first place. I consider DRM books to be a rental, not a purchase, because it not only depends on being read on a Kindle only but also not even that if Amazon decided to stop supporting the format. I will go along with the copyright laws, at least those before they were modified beyond recognition. If the book is not available for purchase, or the author is long dead for example, I will not bother to check for copyright. Even if the book does not state that it is still under copyright, (example: Copyright until 2022) I am not going to do a big research project to find out if it is copyrighted.
