But of course the whole publishing industry is currently working on the Honour System! We still have a publishing industry and it is thriving.
I have realised that by and large the current system is working well. I can read on my e-ink readers, whether bought or library books, and can legally access those books and compensate the authors. I am not removing DRM from EBooks and Sharing them on the pirate sites, nor apparently are all but a very few.
