I'd just like to point out that the lock analogy doesn't really work with DRM. Unless you are talking about non techy people putting a book on a flash drive and sharing it locally. I suppose that could be an issue, but its impact seems relatively minor to me. Not having DRM on ebooks will in NO way change the pirate scene however. Its almost as easy for them to crack a book and upload it as it is for them to just upload one without DRM. It really is just a few clicks. Also, the number of people who can upload a file to share doesn't really matter in the pirate scene, because all it takes is one person who gets a decent amount of seeders and their torrent becomes the torrent most people use, because its at the top of the list.
