I wonder where you got the idea that there was any "waiting time", since DRM removal is very nearly instantaneous?
For instance, Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" was available on the "darknet" the very same day that it was released in the USA. DRM definitely did not limit or slow down the spread of digital content in that case. In some sense it even seems that DRM actually encourages piracy since the pirates seem to compete among themselves to see who can get something out the fastest, especially in the case of highly hyped releases.
