But there are still a lot of writers who don't even have their work out as ebooks. The whole drm question has not even arisen for them yet.

I hope all these are just teething problems of a new reality. But having such shortsighted legislations in place sure isn't helping.
It's going to be a rude awakening for some writers in the coming years. Free, as in freedom is rapidly becoming the gold standard. DRM is an irrelevant non-technology that cannot be maintained.
