I think a major point is that if a company's DRM server goes down, it can deny you access to a book that you've already *bought*.

(This is my main concern - I've had to reauthorize computers numbers of times due to device upgrades. I still have the actual files and I don't even need to redownload them, I just need to be able to access them again. That's enough of a pain when the server on the other side is working.)
