It is more than just searching. I change the font size when reading under different conditions and expect the content to reflow. That won't happen with a screen capture. OCR is unreliable without proofing, which takes time and effort, so I don't consider that as a viable option for DRM removal either.

The discussion is about DRM removal. For me piracy is different. It is the further step of acting in ways that could harm the copyright holder such as sharing content or keeping permanent copies of borrowed books.
