I'm not sure. You can borrow a lab machine, or a friend's machine. Surely it is no worse than a dead tree book - you either have to buy it or find somewhere to borrow it from. Embrace DRM or fail seems like a false dichotomy. I do agree that this is a worrying trend, and Stallman make a valid point in The Right to Read, but I think the point he is making is that once you have DRM, you can stop people borrowing stuff. That is bad, but we haven't got there yet.
