Well said. DRM was never good at stopping piracy. It's just there to boost the death rate among sold copies and so ease competition against newly released books. The ever-growing copyright durations have the same aim. DRM is not about fairness, and I think it's a waste of time to come up with schemes that try to make it so unless there is some way of imposing them on the DRM imposers.
