Not as of yet. But, if you plan to ONLY publish using Adobe DRM then you are cutting off a huge market share that mobipocket has due to its platform proliferation. But, there are programs that read the text while it is displayed in Digital Editions and copys it off. So, in that case it is circumventable.

Also, look around on the "darknet" you can easily find the Harry Potter books which were NEVER released as ebooks. So, they only way for me to get an ebook of Harry Potter (or others) is to d/l it... since there is no one to pay, then no one gets the money for it.

DRM only affects the legitamate customers, locking them into certain devices or formats. The hackers and traders won't be put off by it at all.
