I agree, but a thought just occurred to me. Warning - this is rather pedantic, very theoretical and not at all practical

Someone's signature on here says something like "DRM is like saying you have to red the book in our store". That would be one potential way of preventing piracy - only allow people to read the books while they are under surveillance.

Admittedly, I can't see why anyone would buy into such an idea, but just because I (or you) can't see a way to do it, doesn't mean no-one else can see a way to do it.
