All of this is part of the infrastructure that most publishers insist upon because as everyone knows, we readers who buy books are all cheats, tramps, and thieves.
But this was a LIBRARY book that the OP ?borrowed? for a short time period and is what I consider the only reasonable use of DRM, since it is a non-owned book.
