You're right, but passing the book on is one of the big things you can't do with any current electronic DRM, and I think it's also one of the big things people expect to be able to do with books.

Pilgrim's essay is good rhetoric, but I think the What Colour Are Your Bits? (http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/lawpoli/colour/2004061001.php) essay makes a better practical case against DRM, from the basic you can't make this work and you don't really want to perspective.
