What really bugs me about it is that people will get books for free if they want to. DRM will not stop the exchange of books. It's the same as the stupid region restrictions. If I can't buy the book because I'm not in the US, you pretty much force me to find it "by other means". How does this help anyone make a profit?
Classic example of an idea that sounds good in theory for the corporate folk, but fails miserably to account for the actual customers.
