DRM exists because when my old aunt buys that new Orhan Pamuk book, she could and would send it to her friends if there was no DRM. While not fully comprehending email attachments, she knows how to send things with Facebook. She would not think that she is doing something wrong. Digital goods and personal licenses are completely alien things for her. This is not a matter of morality for her. And DRM stops her.

This is the purpose corporations have when they implement DRM and it works. Anyone who says DRM is useless, is honestly has no real idea what she is talking about.

eBook DRM as it is now is a tool of shifting paradigms. It will quietly vanish with time.
