Well, I know that DRM is there to be bypassed, but it may still be an issue with many people.
I can strip out the DRM in the time it takes to copy the eBook to Calibre. So can the people who do pirate eBooks. The DRM won't bother anyone distributing eBooks. It will only bother those who are trying to do things legally and don't know about removing DRM.

So your pirates are good to go and your customers are screwed. Yep, very nice business model.
