Well, maybe, for a while, until that teenager decides that she *wants* to email copies of the latest Twilight book to all her Facebook friends. At that point, she, or any "technologically unsophisticated consumer" is only a technologically sophisticated friend and brief tutorial away from removing DRM at a click.
