Will the publishers also be insisting that retailers who do not use Adobe DRM (Amazon, Kobo kepubs etc) should hardened their bespoke DRM offerings? What is the point of publishers insisting on hardened Adobe DRM, when by far the biggest player (Amazon) will continue to use a weak DRM that is readily broken?
Are the publishers and Amazon going to square for a fight over this? It could probably be in Amazon's best interest to continue using their existing DRM, as they will win over disillusioned customers if and when the new Adobe DRM is switched on.
