If you want to make it even more nasty, here's some extra ideas (all easy to code).
1. Make every piece of software have to go through a central point (Apple?
) and for it to work on the device, make it have to meet the "phone home" requirement.
2. Hash compute the last 500 words (or so), compare the the hashes stored on the publisher's server, and see how close the e-book is, no matter whether it's a limited or not. If it matches, and it's a limited only release, notice, then delete. All automated, no labor involved (heh,heh,heh).
See the joys of convenience...
