There are several stores that sell content legally in DRM-free ePub, such as ebooks.com, not to mention all of the public domain content from Project Gutenberg.
Moreover, I think consumers who have purchased a legal copy of a physical or DRM'd book have the moral authority to torrent a matching non-DRM copy, legal technicalities be damned.
Please don't try to paint everyone with the same brush, or resort to name-calling. Techies usually understand the trade-offs and risks, and non-techies simply need to be educated.

I happen to agree with you, but to simply ignore the fact that you need to break the law to make the value equation work in your favour is pretty much, well, idiotic.
- lukifer 14y agoI'm of the opinion that the burden of proof is upon the law to justify its existence, and that I as a free sentient being have a right and/or responsibility to ignore any law that does not meet that burden of proof, and accept the consequences of doing so. The fear of death is the beginning of slavery.
