As a long time computer tech, any type of DRM that has to "phone home" or rely on a base server is extremely dangerous. If the Kindle has to phone home each time it opens one of their books, the person would always have to have wifi/3G on AND a connection. We wouldn't be able to read those books on planes or middle of nowhere with no signal.
As it is now, the Kindle just grabs the file from either PC or Amazon themselves, the Kindle double checks at that time to verify the DRM and thats it.
Thats why I posted this elsewhere:
