DRM may be a pain in the butt, but how else can you protect property rights? I'm all for public domain myself as a reader, but as a writer I would like to make a buck or two with my work, if only for the psychological satisfaction. As I have been saying above, I think the answer is not in fighting DRM but in improving it so that ebooks can be sold used and lent/rent (either freely or for a fee). I predict that Amazon will do this -- and I will not even insist on a piece of the pie (though you are my witnesses).
