I thought most DRM schemes made it explicit how many copies you could have and under what terms. For instance, with Mobipocket, you have to register the PIDs of the devices (including your computer) that you will use. I suppose you could only license devices and not your computer but I think most of the agreements say it's ok to store a backup copy.
