Title from the article. Interesting article, with some good words from our DRM-free favorite Cory Doctorow.

From a legal standpoint, is it more illegal to remove DRM or to just download DRM-freed content?

Meta lawyers think the second is fine, BTW.

There is no "more illegal". One is illegal, the other is not.

Robbing a store is illegal. Murdering someone is also illegal, however one of the two is for good reasons punished much more harshly.
