did you read third posting ? I accepted that that it is going to be impossible and changed the idea a little bit. Public libraries and colleges face hard time when it comes to obtaining eBooks directly from publishers and having a collaborative managed server for certificate management will be helpful. these servers can be managed by group of publishers, group of college or any other interested third party.
Btw I think DRM wont go in future but opposite, as more and more information is coming in forms of intellectual property the need to maintain only single copy of the work throughout also goes with it. You can bash publishers for being greedy but writer also get deprived of their royalties just think if one eBook is shared amongst all the student in a class.
