I wouldn't post it on a P2P network, regardless of whether the signature pointed to me.

2/ If you could download a free reader for any device that was keyed to your digital signature, would you buy DRMed content for it, providing that your content could be displayed on any and all of your reading devices forever?

Possibly. My big wish is to download content
once, and read it on whatever device I happen to have. So I'm strongly in favor of a standard format every reader can support. If a standard DRM that will work on any reader on any device can be implemented, I can probably live with DRM.
Meanwhile, I don't buy DRMed ebooks, and have no plans to start. If the only ebook format is DRMed, I'll buy the paper book. For me, ebooks are a
additional format for reading, not a
replacement for paper books.
