What is the time length of the rental? Obviously you need the book for the length of your class, no more and no less. But some classes last longer than others. I don't see such a big deal in stripping the DRM from rental textbooks, because you really aren't going to look at them again after your class is done. (how many textbooks did you look at after your class was done?) On the other hand, I personally think that students are big pirates. I can easily see "sharing" the DRM-stripped book with your friends in class. Back to the first hand, I guess that is a problem with any ebook, not just rentals.
