When you see them saying that you should point out that DRM has no affect on piracy at all, it only puts restrictions on the people who buy their product. Pirated ebooks do not have DRM, therefore they are more attractive to some readers than the official product. The way to combat piracy is NOT to release an official product that is inferior to the unofficial product.
