What a nice easy blanket statement. Why should I deprive myself of the books I want just because of DRM? I paid full price for them, they are mine to keep forever. And the only way to do that is to strip the DRM so that I can put them on any reader or tablet that I own regardless of what the publishers or Amazon, Apple, and B&N want.

And what they want is to lock you into their stores forever. I refuse to be held hostage by any of them!
