Yeah, even being an ardent supporter of copyright law etc., I'd hardly bash people for doing that.
I'm no supporter of DRM. People who buy an e-book need to be able to do the same things they're legally allowed to do with a paperbook. Loan it to a friend/family member, give it away or sell it (can't keep a copy for yourself though) etc.
My issue is with people who put stuff on the darknets, or those who download from the darknets rather than buying a copy etc. Not people who strip DRM to put their book on other devices, or to loan it to a couple of friends like they used to do with a paper book they loved and wanted other's to read etc.
DRM stinks as it does nothing to stop pirates and just creates hassles for those who do buy the content legally.
