For me personally this is the very root of the issue. "More than one reader per purchase"? Seriously? If they really do believe this then I have zero sympathy for the publisher or the author. Piracy should really be defined as copying data and reselling it for profit, or uploading it for millions to download. If you let your wife/son/daughter/mom/dad/brother/sister read a book that you just read then NO piracy took place, period. What you do with the file for personal use is simply beyond anyone to control if it stays inside your own home.
