P.S. In other words, you only need to break the DRM, for eBooks that
you have purchased. If you are breaking DRM you are buying eBooks.

Not strange at all. One question that usually doesn't appear at discussions about piracy/copyright infringement/whatever is: books don't float on the air; books arrive to darknet because people who have obtained them "legally" (purchase, contests, ARCs) put them there. So, if you stop breaking DRM, it's difficult books arrive to darknet
