What's not a given is whether there'll be enough people interested in a given product for crackers to get involved. So here is the conundrum: for ebooks to be profitable in the way publishers would like, a critical number of customers must be reached. But when it is, crackers will get involved.

DRM basically amounts to trying to prevent people from opening a box they own with a key they have. Those who create them hope to achieve it through technical obfuscation, and that is doomed to failure when a high enough number of eyes are looking. Or why do you think laws such as DMCA have been written?
