Re: eBook security

Digital Rights Management or DRM is a waste of time. Any hacker that
wishes to apply themselves can break and copy ANY system out there. And
they are exactly the type of persons who wouldn't buy it to begin with.

Even the larger organizations are starting to realize that DRM only
serves to piss off legitimate customers and does nothing to stop
piracy.

There are series of VERY good essays by Eric Flint, on the Baen
Universe publisher's site. I would suggest this as a starting point:

Good luck!
