DRM on ebooks is completely pointless as though I am a very shitty programmer, even I could cobble together some macro and/or program that would take screenshots of an ebook, use OCR software to discern the characters, then spend a little of my time cleaning it up – and bam, no DRM.

The human analog hole* will always be there. Well, at least until neural implants. DRM on ebooks is particularly impossible because the fonts have to be as good or better as those in a physical book for people to want to read it, and that can always be OCRed.

Once even one person does what I discussed above, the DRM curse is removed forevermore. DRM on ebooks is the equivalent of putting a six-foot-tall fence at the bottom a 30-foot-deep lake to stop the fish from swimming where they want to.
