How will they know you removed the DRM from a book, if you're the only one that sees that book?

That's a whole different situation. And I doubt it would happen... There are too many non-DRM books out there.

So, if you remove DRM, just don't go out and brag about it. Simple as it is ...

Yep, except that I will admit I remove DRM for personal purposes. And it is officially a crime here too. And they will never go against the people that remove DRM for personal purposes. It would hurt them much more than they would gain.
