I think the fact that few people know about the tools to strip book DRM is likely due to the fact that this is still a very small market. If ebooks get popular enough, I think these tools will be fairly well known. Besides, it only takes one person to put a title up on P2P sites for it to be easy to get by thousands or even millions of people just as it now happens with music. That's the scenario the publishers fear far more than someone emailing a few of their friends.
