Well, I had the same sort of thinking when it came to copy protected music CDs. Lots of people did. DRM just pisses people off and they feel it's their right to remove the locks and set the content free. In fact, a lot of these same people would not share eBooks that came DRM free. So if prices were more reasonable and DRM was eliminated, piracy would be lower.
