I cannot help but wonder where DRM has stopped anyone from reading. The entitlement to copy and/or redistribute a pbook has never been a hot issue.

I have never bought a book where the main purpose was to be able to lend it or resell it. I have done both, but I bought it because I wanted to read the book.

Now it is all about resales. People who loudly admit to stripping drm are constantly whining because they have to. Not too long ago one would have had to spend a long time at a photocopier to copy a book and some now feel it is their inalienable right to do this in in under 10 seconds?

Copying an ebook is usually violating the contract under which it was sold. Whining about doing this the hard way is like robbers snivelling that they have to go a bank or convenience store and show them a gun.
