Thanks.
You can start with Why are DRM ebooks evil and why should I avoid them like the plague?, a standard-sized MR discussion about DRM: about 17 pages.

And the counterpoint: People who want no DRM are impractical dreamers... ; 42 pages.

There's a better way to beat the ebook pirates is almost 40 pages long.

DRM is also likely to be mentioned in discussions about price, sharing, and copyright. (Don't have time to scrounge up links for those at the moment. Other people might chime in with some.)
