So why hasn't it happened for those companies & authors who release their works without DRM?
If lack of DRM causes casual sharing, to the detriment of the company, why hasn't Baen gone bankrupt? Why hasn't Ellora's Cave? How is Konrath getting richer every month, instead of his books being shared by so many people that he can't sell them anymore? Where's all the casual sharing that should be hurting these companies?
