Honour system when it's a 1to1 sale. Business sales should be registered. All of it without DRM. The important thing is that 'if' digital files cost as much as their 'physical' counterparts, then we should have the same rights of second-sale with them. If we don't get these same rights, if, in fact all we are buying is an extended license to rent the digital copy, then the price should be lowered to fairly represent that fact.
Charge me 50p and state clearly that what I'm buying is an extended rental, then I'll be happy. They can DRM the digital copy as much as they want as long as they're honest about what I'm paying for upfront.
