<p><strong>While DRM has largely been defeated in downloaded music,
it is a growing problem in the area of ebooks, where people have
had their books restricted so they can't freely loan, re-sell or
donate them, read them without being tracked, or move them to a
new device without re-purchasing all of them. They've even had
their ebooks deleted by companies without their permission. It
continues to be a major issue in the area of movies and video
too.<br>
