Can ADE tell the difference between an ebook which has never had DRM, and the same ebook which has had the Adobe DRM stripped from it (and therefore possibly pirated)? If not, then this could explain why ADE is sending info back about all ebooks in its library, ebooks with and without DRM. They could be trying to check whether the no DRM ebooks have been "pirated", i.e., have had DRM removed, which could be for any number of morally justifiable reasons, e.g., in order to format shift, or back up, or fix typos, or adjust formatting. But to Adobe this may be viewed as piracy.
