You're right, of course, but it's entirely possible that parfe doesn't want to find himself on the wrong side of the law just so he can share "The Art of Fielding" with his friend. That is, you or I or parfe may completely agree that e-books shouldn't have DRM, and that removing said DRM shouldn't be illegal, but doesn't mean parfe is willing to consciously violate the law, no matter how objectionable he finds said law.
