Ultimately if it's too hard to crack: Automatically take a picture of each page and then OCR. OCR still needs proofed but it's better than it was. Ironically commercial pirates have the resources, so DRM isn't about stopping piracy but controlling consumers. Video or audio streaming (or BDs) are even easier to pirate.
