The helping vs. hurting sales arguments are a bust from either angle. If the evidence from niche market publishers supports the notion that no-DRM helps sales, the runaway growth of mainstream ebook sales leaves the argument that they harm sales eating dust. It's like saying Facebook subscription numbers are being hurt by the ads. DRMed books are selling like wildfire. There are compelling anti-DRM arguments, but sales ain't one of them. imo.
