I would like to take a slightly different take on the current topic. As an IT professional I need to understand not the legal aspects of ebooks rather I need to understand how Amazon and Barns and Nobles will actually acomplish this. I am told that DRM is acomplished by providing the ereader the key to the book that you have purchased. I belive that the key allows for an expiration date. Can anyone explain the mechanics of how this is acompished? I also belive that epub does not include DRM? When striping out DRM, I am told that the software recovers the password to the key from the file then uses that key to decrypt the ebook.
How will this elending be acomplished?
