Stone, it is seemingly impossible to move past the point of DRM being only an inconvenience for law-abiding customers. That is the root complaint. It does NOT stop and rarely even slows pirates.

In this world, there are a lot of things that inconvenience law abiding citizens, from having to lock our doors when we go out to having to remove our shoes and submit to other indignities when we take an airplane flight We put up with it because we have to. DRM is simply another minor inconvenience, in the big scheme of things.Its important to keep that in perspective.
Once again, its pretty clear to me that only the digerati are really up in arms about DRM. Most of the masses of people who bought reading devices over the past year don't care and don't even know about DRM.
