And I know you know all this. And the point remains that we have to try to be "fair." Writing and reading a book is a partnership/purchase between two parties. It's a constant dance trying to make the whole thing work. Not everyone is trying, of course, which is why DRM exists in the first place.

Absolutely. And, as you say, companies like Amazon do provide legitimate ways of sharing content between family members. If Aunt Mary is on your Amazon account, she can read all your books (and you can read hers).
