Fixed. Given most forms of DRM require the device you want to read on to be activated, that would mean if you get locked out of your account and you get a new computer or your device breaks or something, your DRM'ed backup copies are useless.

Frankly, if utilities to remove DRM didn't exist, I wouldn't be buying ebooks at all.
