I entirely agree with you, Lemurion. Clearly the way to encourage publishers that DRM is unnecessary is to boost the sales of DRM-free books. Pirating DRM-protected books, as balok suggests, will do nothing other than to confirm the view of those publishers that DRM is necessary to fight the pirates.
