I have now encountered the "too many activations" 'error' msg when trying to add the Adobe DRM id to the Aldiko app so I can download an ebook from the public library.
Googling, I find the problem was in a thread at Adobe's 'community forum' starting around 2010 & looks to be still occurring. DRM should not have a limit to how many activations were made if it was legitimate; none of DRM business on how many times a person install/uninstalls an app.
I do not remember where, but did see a reference to Overdrive using "anonymous" as an id which appears to be without limits.
Another reason for getting rid for DRM.

Does DRM give others my information?
Does DRM infect my computer?
If the answer is no, then it is neither malware nor a virus.
Your argument would hold more water if you used better analogies.
Ok, so you can't read a book with it. That would be an obstacle or a roadblock.
Not virus or malware.
