And doomed to fail. I will not give anyone my fingerprints just to read a book.
I predict that within 5 years, all ebook DRM will be gone, good authors will still make money (as much or more than they did before), more authors will arrive that go direct to market skipping publishers, publishers that fight the change and not adapt to it will fail, and none of that will require fingerprints or other draconian measures to make it work.
When that happens we can look back at these meaningless arguments and discussions and laugh.
