It doesn't require any type of key server or connection to the internet (are we calling it the cloud these days?).

I thought we were calling the internet "the pipes"... I gotta keep up.
Anyhow, I just don't see the point to adding a system that will not actually enforce compliance of something. As for informing them of the status of the book, a simple copyright notice serves that purpose. Whether you are a legitimate customer or a "darknet downloader," the majority of the former (and all of the latter) will just ignore it... then likely complain that it is there taking up an entire page that they could be reading.
