I thought that the book publishers/producers/libraries are Adobe's customers.
We do pay the fee indirectly of course, but we don't actually buy anything from Adobe.
Adobe's customers want bigger and better DRM so Adobe has no choice but to supply it or someone else will eventually.
I don't care for the inconvenience of DRM but I am pretty sure that without it the availability of ebooks and library borrowing would be curtailed significantly. Not a good thing IMO.
Right or wrong it is the publishers etc. who are Adobe's customers and Adobe must do what they are requested to do or risk losing the business.
