We do need DRM for one thing and without DRM, we lose this one thing and it is a big loss.

Without DRM, we lose library eBooks. There is no way to do it without DRM> We need the time limited DRM for library eBooks. So if we get rid of DRM 100%, we get rid of library eBooks. Does anyone think that if publishers do away with DRM, we will still have time limited DRM for libraries?
