You're right - that prevents users forging encrypted books from the Sony store. I'm not sure it's a huge problem, but that solution does work. It doesn't affect the piracy problem at all, they're still shipping an encrypted file along with with everything needed to decrypt it to the user.

I'm in the "if I have to buy DRM, I buy .lit because it's easy to crack".
