@shaggy: And musicians do still - and will continue to - earn money for each sell.
Yes, I DO NOT like DRM. Not at all.
But: I still assume, that selling a book should give you money - just as well as selling software (which is essentially the same) should make you money. Enough money for an author to continue living from his book-sells, for a developer to continue living from his software.
I do both - programming and writing (not published yet) - and I want to get money for both. Not for some obscure "second market" (dont want to sell shirts, really), but for the product itself.
I do not know how this can be achieved. But - on the other side - using a kind of "serial number" would be a possibility, just like registering books online to specific devices, etc - look at software, it's essentially the same problem (and the same solutions can be used).
