Perhaps, but then again, there really doesn't seem to be a big DRM push by the publishers. The hardened DRM seems to be more of a product in search of a market, rather than something the market is asking for.
As far as I can tell, the issue between libraries and publishers with regards to eBooks is more limiting books during the initial selling period rather than concern of piracy.
