    I think they do intend ā€œthenā€, i.e., first pirate the book and then buy a DRM locked copy you donā€™t intend to open to remain legal.

      Itā€™s what I assumed. And itā€™s almost how I do it: buy the ebook from a source that I know has easily removed DRM and then remove it before copying it to my e-reader.

      I want to pay authors but Iā€™m not willing to put up with DRM on something Iā€™ve purchased. Iā€™ll tolerate it on things Iā€™m renting/borrowing although thatā€™s no harder to remove.
