There is also that with e-book DRM you couldn't use your media in just any device. Sony tried with music but there were just too many mp3 players sold. Now you can buy an mp3 from anyone and it can be played on any mp3 player. A video DVD will play on any DVD player. You don't need to "copy" a DVD to make it playable on a new, different DVD Player.

An e-book user who wants his media usable on any device, without regard to the whims or fortunes of the company that they may have purchased the media from, has a valid reason to remove the DRM. As long as all those purchasing e-book media are not using the same device (like all kindles), there will be some demand for media files that can be read on all/most devices. As things stand now, that means without DRM.

Luck;
Ken
