If Facebook is such a den of piracy perhaps the various governments of the world should close it down straight away like they have with other dens of piracy recently.

But do you really think that DRM that can be easily removed by anyone who wants to will stop all these Facebook pirates? Even the ultimate DRM of not releasing an ebook version at all wouldn't stop them if that was what they wanted to do.

Has treating all your potential customers as thieves ever worked in any industry?
