The likelihood of someone using the e-book information is higher.
Even a very rich person would have an incredibly hard time making an
H-bomb, but if you explain ROT13 to a 6-year old he/she would
eventually be able to decode a book, and it would be fun!  Therefore,
we must supress the knowledge of ROT13.  Right?  Wrong.  The DCMA is
being used to supress scientific knowledge on our watch and in our
backyard.  It's our responsibility to stop it.  This is for profit,
corporate ordered, government enforced, mandatory book burning.  I
don't know if anyone has suggested this, yet: Let's have a book burning.
