It is a fine line though. When I buy an ebook I want to be able to lend it to friends like I would a traditional paper book, but I don't feel I should be able to print copies and give them away to people.
I think a 1 person looking at a book at one time rule is sensible. So I can virtually lend it to a friend and when they close the file, another friend can read it. That is the same way that 'Steam' (a computer gaming platform) works. I can install games on many different machines, but only have 1 instance of them open at a time. I have no problem with that level of DRM - it gives me the same rights I had with paper.
