Agreed... at
any e-book price... and this seems to be the only thing that DRM actually accomplishes. I expect that when DRM advocates see the progress made in traffic management... ID'ing suspect material in transit and tracking it to sender and recipient... they will lobby to adopt TM to their purposes.

That sounds to me like saying I expect all of my groceries to be free because I bought a high-end fridge...

And people wonder why the e-book market is so slow to catch on. Who's bringing the marshmallows?
