Talking about the concept is certainly different from telling people how to do it. Lest we start being thought/speech police, let's think about what we were talking about in the first place.
Yes, I'm a little subversive in my views of unjust justice. But then, I think information, once bought, should be freely *owned* by the purchaser and his to do with as he pleases. I think this also applies to obtaining electronic copies of paper books already purchased, whether released by a publishing house or not. I'm not telling people how to do this. I'm not saying any of this is legal. I'm saying the law is not working on the behalf of the consumer here and should be changed. Now, would I upload a book I knew to be under copyright, even if I had paid for it myself? Nope.
But to say discussion should not take place about such issues is worse than the DRM we're talking about. It's a sign of having been thoroughly indoctrinated by people wishing to remove rights from legitimate consumers as well as "criminal scum."
