That is exactly what publishers are trying to achieve. It is also exactly the main reason why the DRM is cracked: not only on e-books, but also on music, movies and games.
Most of the time, DRM is cracked so people can actually own what they buy (which means, that they can use it forever, should they want to, without anyone else telling them they can't, for whatever reason), not so they can distribute it for free to others.
