*sigh* But DRM doesn't impede this "10% who have an overbearing sense of entitlement", as he puts it They just strip the DRM.

Againsty that, KR approved of the following comment:

There’s a saying among locksmiths that the average consumer lock is “good enough to keep an honest man out.” I.e., it’s not so easy to crack that an average person would be tempted to do it. Without that lock there’d be many more break-ins. Ditto for DRM.

IOW, with no DRM, many more honest users would be tempted to steal and would steal e books. You should understand that mobile read forum users are a tiny percentage of ebook users, so you can't generalize from them. DRM does stop the vast majority of casual ebook readers from just stealing ebooks.
