Many older members here have been burned by the said law when bookstores went out of business or DRM servers shut down, making their DRMed ebooks unreadable. If one is willing to risk losing their books (yes, I know it's pretty unlikely that Amazon or Kobo will go bankrupt or close their ebook business in the near future, but it's not impossible, to say nothing of various smaller companies), then one is of course free to leave the DRM intact. And there are lots of people who only read everything once or mostly read library books and just don't care about DRM. Personally I'm not willing to risk my ebook library, collected throughout many years, just because the law says I must.
