Again, you haven't proven the point.
Those publishers which do offer DRM-free eBooks don't appear to suffer from large-scale casual sharing, even of books on the NYT bestseller list. So, while it may be a fear, there's no evidence that it would actually happen to the degree you're implying.
You've made the assertions, but you haven't connected the dots.
