I asked about whether DeDRM will still work for me to truly own the books I legally purchased on /r/kindle, and my post was removed.

It is infuriating there are communities of readers who are so in the pocket of Amazon they block conversations about DRM stripping.



I feel your pain, but it is still highly illegal to do strip DRM in the U.S. (five years in prison, $500k fine) Sometimes it's a matter of self-preservation, not being in Amazon's pocket.
