Exactly. Thanks for supporting my point.
It happens more often than you think. Even with software. My wife bought a game that required a CD put the drive for activation while playing. Until one day the CD drive broke from overheating and she couldn't play the game anymore. So she downloaded the activation crack and continued playing the game.

Contrary to what many people irrationally decide, DRM is not designed to give customers a hard time.

I don't believe that's what people are thinking. They know very well that DRM isn't intended to give them a hard time but that's just the fact how it is.

What do you mean by
illegitimate customers? Is it if you bought a book that is sold only in certain region by pretending to be resident of this region? Or one who bought a book legally and then removed DRM illegally? I can't really comprehend the concept of "illegitimate customer" because blaming the customer sounds so Soviet.
