While I joke, sticklers of the rules will always have the moral high ground. There isn't much justification that can be provided for breaking any law. As DRM removers, we are all criminals at the end of the day.

Untrue almost everywhere.
No, DRM removal is not a crime in most countries on material
you bought.
There are issues with borrowed, renteda or subscription material. Removing DRM on that is wrong and can be fraud. On KU (Amazon) it defrauds the author/publisher. They don't get paid.
