Books are actually quite easy to digitize. Scanner technology has really improved. The thing to keep in mind is that it only takes one person to digitize something to make it available for everyone. Of course, what some mean by pirate (anyone who makes a digital copy of anything) is a lot different than what most people mean by pirate (anyone who makes money on unauthorized digital copies.)
My guess is that DRM will disappear within a few years. Right now, there aren't any major ebook DRM formats that haven't been cracked, so really, what's the point.
