If somebody thinks that DRM protects against piracy, he/she is serious delusional.
But it's very useful for libraries. Few publishers would allow books to be lent by libraries without time-limiting DRM.

It's worth remembering, too, that DRM is not synonymous with encryption. Watermarking, for example, is a form of DRM that many people who are against encryption do find to be acceptable, because it imposes no restrictions on using the book on whatever device you wish.
