So someone buys a book and submits their DNA sample to the publisher. Their device stabs them, does a quick DNA analysis and verifies that they are the proper owner and grants them access to the content. Next, the proper owner takes that content and uploads it to a torrent site.

As has been stated before, pirates do not defeat DRM by breaking the security. The industry can come up with the worlds best security method, and it still won't matter. Someone buys the secured book, uses the key that the seller gave them to unlock it, and then puts the unlocked book on a torrent site. Stronger locks are irrelevant.
