Sure, you will find ebooks on the darknet even so authors use DRM. But it is clearly illegal and takes some effort to find them. A paper book has still better copy protection but at least the ebook with DRM makes it more difficult to make copies.

LIT format is virtually DRM free one.
No one strip LITs files of drm and post them on the darknet.
It is a proof that DRM is useless and unnecessary.
However,
takes place when people do not have a legitimate and fair source of the content. DRMed books do not fall into
fair source cathegory. Hence, there is darknet. If ebooks were sold DRM-free....most people would just buy them, like they buy LIT files now strip DRM yet do not upload the files to the darknet.
