At least Adobe DRM is trivially easy to break. Right click in the Adobe software and it has a "open document storage location" option. Then drop that DRM loaded PDF into Calibre and you get a free and clear PDF in your library. At that point I go back to the library and hit the return button.

Why not get a DRM-free epub off the net in the first place?

In some cases these are not available. For instance, archive.org has many books that don't seem to be available anywhere else.
