Actually, its to prevent the non-tech user from copying and distributing the product-something it does well.
You can't actually copy and distribute the product until you acquire it . And although people make jokes about it, there are quite a few products where the law regulates what you do with the product after you buy it -guns, for example.
But then, why am I getting into this again. Nah go ahead,-continue to believe that ebooks are the only product where the law is concerned with what you do with the product after you buy it, and its all a dastardly plot of the publishing industry. That's simple and easy to believe , and fits the prevailing narrative.
