The bad guys can already remove the DRM and give it away. So why punish the good guys. All that will do is drive us to the darknet to get these ebooks without paying. Way to go DRM.
My guess is they think that the population of people with jailbroken iPhones is much more likely to post these books on the pirate interwebs than Kindle owners or people who just want to read on another device.
