Everything can be hacked, really, it's just a matter of how difficult

actual document content) is generally pretty tough to break.
My 2 cents but I do agree with Ico, main point being what your
audience is.
PiL readers on this list or people who do actually develop as job are
probably willing to buy the ebook even if it could be easily obtained
illegally.
Other people, those who choose to get it illegally, probably wouldn't
have bought a hardprinted copy anyway.
I doubt PiL2 would lose many customers due to piracy, on the opposite
side it could gain a (maybe unwanted) greater popularity.
Moreover consider that there are just people who like printed book more.
It's obviously all up to Roberto.
