DRM has to grant access to the legitimate owner (otherwise the book is useless), but once it does it cannot control what the legitimate owner does with the book.
Oh, next you'll be saying that people could memorize poetry or type up books while they're looking at the screen. We all know that DRM will prevent unauthorized copies as long as it takes more than 30 seconds to make a copy after the original is open. That's why there were no digital copies of books floating around the internet before Peanut Press. The alt.binaries newsgroups never had books.
