I like this project. And while I'm an avid user of digitized books myself, it reminds me of the importance that physical books (like, printed on paper) have for the freedom of thought. There is no DRM for ink on paper and nobody can ever really control who reads what.

You can do some form of tracking with that, but not DRM. A product would have to be digital in the first place for DRM to apply.
