Again, very clearly: removing DRM and distributing is prohibited here, thus uploading; there is nothing in the law about a download.

And further: for books I have in paper version, I am allowed to make private copies - even electronic ones (up to 6 are tolerated); the paper book is my property and I do not remove any copy protection when making the copy - I am not allowed to redistribute the copies.

It is therefore absolutely equal whether I make these copies myself or download them from somewhere (which is not a violation of the law); I am not allowed to distribute the copies.

To make it clear once again: the one who removes DRM is the offender according to the law.
And what is happening here is helping to do that.
