The content industry wants full control, and they want to be paid for each time you use a product.
You know what the perfect drm system would be? Don't sell any books. All books are available at all times. Make a reader with only a reading application on it, that downloads a book a page at a time while you read. A 100 page book costing $3 will cost $0.03 per page you read. You pay per flipped page (staying on a page for 5 seconds counts as a read), and each month the total will be charged to your credit card. Flipping backward will charge you too, of course, because you read a page twice. Flipping forward again will of course charge you another time, if you're not fast enough.
The industry would love this, but nobody will ever accept it.
