> Why would DRM on a digital copy of a book matter?
Because DRM is just a way to make "breaking copyright" more practically cumbersome. What's easier, breaking digital DRM for each and every E-book you find, or just establishing a single pipeline for scanning physical books?
breaking DRM is so easy my generation was doing it as kids, there is no technical obstacle there.
It's a manual process.
More importantly, it's also explicitly illegal. Destructive format-shifting is not. Thank copyright laws.
