Mhm, this reminds me of a blog post on marketing for independent artists (inlcuding self-published writers):

The relevant part: If all you talk about is money, particularly how much money you are not making, you are doing it wrong. It puts people off.
Everything I rememver hearing from Steven Lyle Jordan is connected to complaints about piracy and thus supposed lost money, and the whole "we need permanent suirveillance!!!" conclusion in particular put me off very thoroughly. If I'd come across him taking part in less charged threads, and there had been a link to them in his signature, I might have checked out his books, but not as it is.

In addition to trying, and failing, to protect from copyright violations, it hinders my rightful use.

My hesitation about removing DRM disappeared with my first purchase. It was a series of four books, which as ebooks all only had the series name as a title, rather than series name and subtitle, or something else useful. Easy to fix without DRM.
