It's a question of motivation. What benefit does DRM bring to any MobileRead user? Absolutely none. It brings some benefit to device vendors (device lock-in), to DRM vendors (Adobe gets their cut), and potentially to publishers (forcing users to re-purchase content). But there is absolutely no benefit to any user. Why does someone argue loudly and strongly against their own best interest? They don't. So therefore it's not against his best interest, which means his best interests align with those of the industry rather than with their customers. People don't advocate against their own interests. If someone appears to do so, and their actions are clear, then it must be their interest that is not what it appears to be. For Stonetools to be acting in his own best interest, that interest cannot be that of a consumer.
