Post #54 just says that it has a purpose, but not which purpose you think it has. You didn't post a link to the thread you were referring to so I can't follow your argument.
DRM is not a law and it's not law enforcement either. It doesn't work. And if there was a "working" DRM (that can't be cracked), it would not prevent piracy, either. People would do what they've done before there were official ebooks (and still do if there are none): scan the books and upload them. And people willing to pay for the content that are too restricted and annoyed by DRM will download them. That's the reason why DRM won't work.
