*shrug* And it can't be determined (without a massive violation of rights, anyways) that I haven't scanned or photocopied or transcribed a copy for myself when I resell a physical book.
Some things you have to take on trust - and most people will be honest enough to delete it, same as most people won't take the very simple step of running books they borrow from the library (Adobe Digital Editions, for example, doesn't delete the files from your Start -> Documents -> My Digital Editions directory when you return them or delete them from the program's library) through a DRM remover so they can keep using them after they are no longer authorized to do so.
