That's the whole POINT of DRM, Nate - to stop someone from buying a book and giving a copy of it to 20 of their friends
. You know as well as I do that there are plenty of people who abuse DRM-free eBooks - you have only to look at the eBook Usenet newsgroups to see how much, for example, of Fictionwise's DRM-free stuff is re-posted there.
Sadly it's the criminals who spoil it for the rest of us and make some publishers believe that DRM is necessary.
