Another point. I accept that pirates pass on pirated material but if it was your hard earned money that bought that ebook or Adobe program how quick will you break that DRM and pass it on for free?  |
The question isn't "How hard can I make if for dishonest people to copy my ebook without paying?", because the answer is "You can't make it hard at all".
The question is "How easy can I make it for my paying customers to get and read my ebook?" to which the answer is "A lot easier without DRM!"
Really. There's no point in worrying about the ebooks appearing in torrents and pirate web sites. That's going to happen. The only thing that you should be worrying about is how good an experience you can make it for your paying customers. Well formatted, well proofed, multiple format (at least Kindle/Mobipocket and ePub) and DRM-free is the way to make customers happy.
