This should be in general discussion, rather than news. But anyway, I do agree with you.
I think the challenge of DRM causes people to break it and share.
Look at what happened to music piracy once Apple, Amazon, Google, etc started selling DRM-free MP3s that could be freely used anywhere by their purchasers* Sure, you can still pirate music. But who does?
I think the ebook world would be better off if books were sold as DRM-free ePubs available from multiple sources and ereaders were less rigorously tied to their particular store.
*Before you post your "Well, actually, MP3s are watermarked..." post, just don't. It's a bunch of blah, blah, blah. The point remains the same.
