Then, if I de-drm a book, put it on the internet, that's where the pubishers will begin to care.
It would have been game and DVD producers who lobbied/paid for that particular law, but there would be no reason why other types of content producers couldn't use it too.

They might not care now, but that doesn't necessarily mean they won't care in the future. Amazon's Kindle logs whether a book you open has DRM restrictions or not, I doubt they would be shy to share that information with content publishers. If you think they won't, ask yourself why they would put that capability into their firmware.
