If you note the comment wording (https://secure.commentworks.com/ftc-DRMtechnologies/), it doesn't specify commenting about regulation of DRM, just DRM in general.

Of course, if you have a different point to make, you should get it into your letter to the FTC...
Actually the biggest format for eBooks (although we don't like it) is PDF and it is not broken and has never been broken. This is part of the reason it is the most popular format. The same technique is being applied to ePUB. Libraries want DRM. As an aside LRX has not been broken. Only the PDA formats have been broken.
