Good grief...

All I was trying to do was point out that writers are more likely to be successful if they have an agent and a publisher behind them - and that self-publishing in nowhere near mature enough yet to be a convincing alternative to authors who want to professionally write for a living.

I've never defended DRM and never would. It's bloody stupid.

I didn't mean to get anyone's backs up. This is obviously a sensitive matter for a lot of people, so I'll stay away from it.
