No. This is not about blind person getting your book for free.
This is about the blind person that needs to convert his legally purchased book into format he can use with his read-aloud software.
Stripping DRM from a legally purchased e-book so the user that paid for the content can personally use it on a device of his choice is a CRIME in increasing number of jurisdictions. This is about creating legal way for disabled people to use DRM-crippled content using technical means that they are able to use.
