Two problems I see with DRM (any kind of DRM), the first of which was outlined in the CNet article:
1) If I can access the data, I can copy it. It may take some programming knowledge/work, but it can be done.
2) Laws were never designed to PREVENT someone from committing a crime, only to provide for the PUNISHMENT of those who do. Our lawmakers need to realize that they cannot PREVENT someone from breaking the law. Once they come back to that realization, many of our problems--in society as a whole--will vanish. Until then, be prepared to disrobe at the airport and jump through increasingly esoteric hoops to read your ebooks.
