You will read it here, from some, that DRM is required to prevent Piracy.
You will also see the slightly more rational DRM supporter that will claim it prevents
"casual" piracy.
What you don't see, from the DRM side of the discussions, is mention of the real
purpose of these mechanisms; to restrict the purchase and/or use of the ebooks to
support the retailer's bottom line. An attempt to make it so that you can only buy
your ebooks from them, and only use it under their control of devices.
Luck;
