If "intellectual property rights" are exercised by publishers putting DRM on ebooks, and that DRM stops you from putting the ebook that you have bought on multiple devices for your own use, then it's OK to strip the DRM? But if I want to strip the DRM so I can give the ebook to my mate, and then get rid of my copy, that's not OK? And if, having legitimately paid for an ebook, and realizing I will never want to read it again, I want to sell it or give it to a charity shop so they can sell it - like I could with a pbook - that's not OK?
I think I've understood what you're saying - I just don't understand why you would be saying it.
