I'm trying to imagine a scenario where my computer gets hacked and it's worth the hacker's while to upload my library to the darknet. Something can be theoretically possible but not be worth considering, certainly not if it cuts off more worthwhile actions.
Exactly. It's one of those kind of minor worries, rather than a major one. I can't be bothered to dwell on the minor stuff.

One, been using a computer since the Radio Shack Tandy-1000. Never had a virus, never been hacked. Using e-readers, multiple e-readers, since 2010. Never lost one, never cracked a screen.

I'm all for social DRM, and half the reason I plan to redownload that ebook is to just "show up" as a downloader, in case the powers that be are looking to see what form folks download in. I figure Adobe DRM is likely to go the way of the dodo.
