Paul, the point you're missing is that while DRM stops copying, also stops 'format shifting', which is the primary issue - anyone's who's wanting to many "many copies" uses other routes which avoid the DRM completely.
What the DRM actually means is that if I buy a book with DRM, I can only broadly read that on the device it's enabled for. There are limited exceptions, in that if I buy a Sony DRM book, I could read it on my PC & my Reader, while if I buy a MobiPocket DRM book, I could read it on my PC & my phone, but I can't read either on both my Reader & my phone, which are where I'd like to (as sometimes I've got the phone but not the Reader)
