DRM is not copyright.
Opposing DRM is not the same as refusing to establish and defend copyright. Baen books does not use DRM, but they take active steps whenever they discover their copyrights are being infringed upon.

DRM isn't copyright, but it is a way of defending copyright. If there is a better way, then I 'm all for it. But neither I, nor you, nor anyone on this forum, can think of a better way, so here we are. Apparently you are OK with paying lip service with the idea of defending copyright. You just don't like anyone coming up with any effective way of doing it.(Filing lawsuits against pirate sites and sending cease and desist letters is less effective and less popular than DRM, by several orders of magnitude).
Now I would be interested in what Jim Baen is doing to protect the IP rights of authors. My guess is not much of anything, since their authors aren't bestsellers for the most part and don't lose much through piracy and casual sharing.
