Thanks, Harry; I'm sorry I misunderstood you.
The main thing I'm trying to say is that in my opinion the criterion should be whether anyone is harmed by copying. If I pay for a book, remove the DRM, don't read it myself and give it to some one else, and remove it from my computer - as I seem to remember the original poster did - then no one is harmed, and it isn't wrong to do. One ebook is bought, one ebook is read - even if not by the original purchaser. It's a long way back now, but I seem to remember that the original poster's mother does not have the skills to do the work herself. I can't see how it is wrong for her son to do it for her.
