Perhaps the original poster would prefer to amend his statement to say "only one other person has copies". I'd be fine with that.
Okay Harry let's go along with your silly argument, because it is.

Let's analyze the implicates of what you are trying to say. Since what you imply that that act of just deleting is not enough where do we stop?

First off book loaded in memory resides there for some time, is person required to reboot.
What about the physical disc drive. Just deleting it is not enough, as a SW recovery program can recover the eBook.

What about companies who sell eBooks, if they relocate the file stating from one directory to another, or backup their servers. Are they required to pay out twice?

Most DRM allow one to register multiple devices to one account. What if each eBook reader loads that book according to you their in CopyRight violation and so is the Company that allows this since CopyRight is own by the author/publisher not the DRM licensee. Does the company payout for every copy made?

Question here is what is the moral difference between having two devices registered to one account and sharing a book that way and sending one out to your mother?
