Would the question/opinions also apply to audio books? I don't do audio books so do not know what the sale/rent conditions are.

If the audio is sounded via a stereo, then would it be violating the DRM(?) if other people were listening at the same time? A couple of days ago, I see the Audible app being available on the Fire TV; this means anyone turning on the AVR, TV & Fire TV would be able to listen to any books available in "my library".

If the someone was able to enable an ebook reader app on a Fire TV or any other streamer, then a purchased book can be easily read by other people & so violating the DRM!? Or the ebook is on a shared directory on a network harddrive, that book can be read by others with access to the harddrive.

One of the problems with DRM I encountered when starting to use ebooks from the public library, was the my computer's Adobe Id was different from that of the tablet & the library id was different from the tablet. Downloaded the book to the computer, then try to use the tablet to get the book which was not successful as it was a DRM violation......
