"Common sense" in England must be different from here in the U.S.
Going back to what Sparrow said:
"It's common practice to lend books to friends, let someone else read an article in a magazine you've purchased, allow visitors to your home watch your DVDs."
DRM doesn't permit us to lend the eBook to a friend.
It doesn't let someone else read an article that I've paid for.
It doesn't let someone else watch my legally purchased DVD (if they live in another DVD region).
I have yet to see
any DRM scheme that permits common sense levels of sharing.
