the PID concept is a secret key between the user and the provider. So if there is a tool for a user of the device to find out what is their secret key, that's just pretty hard to say the tool maker is malicious. There is going to be a benefit of the doubt for the user that they will have integrity and not go sharing copyright work. I think the users also already know about the consequences of sharing copyright work will discourage publishers to do any eBook publishing.

You really don't want to start making DRM to be hassle-ful to leave a distaste in users' experience. Calling all your users criminals also don't help. There is also a thing called "karma", "What goes around, comes around." If there are users who really are not irresponsible, there are many things in life that will get them back.

So, chill. We are individuals have high integrity, right?
