Yeah, I certainly agree that it is not WRONG to remove DRM from books for which you have paid. I guess I wrote the original message because I had been on a different Forum and someone was asking about if they could buy a book on Barnes and Noble and use it on the Kindle. Hypothetically speaking I could have done that myself using various Python scripts. Indeed when Amazon's store did not have Pynchon's INHERENT VICE but Fictionwise did have it, well, the hypothetical scripting could maybe have been going strong. Anyway, I realized that there was not really a way to send a helpful answer. The best one might do would be to say "Well, yeah, I know how to do it but if I tell you I have to kill both of us or hire a lawyer." There is just something so WRONG going on here with the DCMA that it boggles belief it could happen in a country like ours which really does value individual freedoms so highly. Oh well. Thanks for all the responses. I guess we just have to wait for the EFF or some other organization to fund a winnable consumer action-suiit.
