Remember, these laptops come with very limited mass storage -- no hard disk drives. There is no need for publishers to fear massive proliferation of restrictively licensed works via these laptops alone. Given the incredibly high profile of this project, I could easily see the publicity benefit alone outweighing the risk for publishers.
