This effort to control how you use the digital product that you have purchased is dependent upon DRM measures. As long as the effort to have unbreakable DRM is at
war with those who can break the DRM measure, and as long as the Anti-DRM forces
are winning, anyone can buy and use the product. It is in Amazon's interest to have
as many as possible able to use and willing to buy what they have to sell. While it is
possible that by locking in an author's production they could make DRM work for them,
it would also generate a greater response from the anti-DRM forces.
Anyone can buy from Amazon and remove the DRM, so the purchase can be used as
the buyer wishes, this is a situation that only benefits Amazon. While at the same time
Amazon can offer "protection" to publishers and authors. Amazon has got to realize this!
They have no real motivation to push the DRM side of the equation.
Luck;
