If you're...tecchy, I'd recommend reading up on the Calibre forums about how you can decrypt and maintain a clean file copy, for your own records. I won't say more than that, but consider it format-shifting. This way, you have a usable file. You guys would be shocked at how many times I've had to sally forth, buy a copy of someone's book and er, format-shift it, so that they have a usable copy of their OWN BOOK. (Which is the only person I'd do that for.)

Good advice for anyone as far as having a clean copy of books that you have purchased.

Though I can see a future court case: "Your Honour, we will establish that the defendant downloaded and removed DRM from a ebook." "But, Your Honour, it's my book! I wrote it!".
