No, DRM is like having tiny little locks on every book on your bookshelf at home with the requirement to call Amazon (or other) and ask that they kindly remove the lock so you can read the book. After verifying your identity they will allow you to read the book.
I would point out that if the book is in your own home you can remove the little locks at will. No need to call anyone, no need for permission...
