I'm not at all sure that's true. I think there are very many people out there who haven't got the faintest idea about copyright law and what they are and aren't allowed to do. I was recently speaking to a person I work with, and it came up in conversation that he always buys CDs, copies them only his iPod, and then sells the CD on eBay. He was genuinely shocked when I told him that he was breaking copyright law by doing this. I don't like DRM any more than anyone else does, and always remove it from the books that I buy. But I understand copyright law; I think DRM can be helpful for those who don't.
