Actually, B&N's DRM requires some DRM server to serve you up an eBook that is chock full of DRM. So if that DRM server is down, you don't get your infected eBook. So yes, B&N also requires the use of DRM servers just like Adobe ad just like everyone else who is serving DRMed eBooks. The only difference is that you do not first have to register with the B&N DRM server. But, if you cannot register with the B&N server, you would not be able to get the eBook anyway. So non of the DRM flavors is any less reliant on a DRM server then the others.
