This is not an issue with all DRM formats. Eg, with MobiPocket books, the metadata is stored separately from the book's text, so that one can edit the metadata of even DRM-protected books.

I firmly believe that DRM will be gone before we know it. The anger and frustration it causes the customer will not offset the loss of revinue for the publishers that it might prevent.

I must respectfully disagree - I don't think the overwhelming majority of eBook readers give a damn about DRM, judging from the success of machines like the Amazon Kindle. Customers want convenience and ease of buying books, and that's what the Kindle provides, DRM and all.
