As far as I know, the truth is NOTHING will deter anyone who just wants to take your stuff. Having said that, the "social DRM" and sense of community has worked quite well for Baen toward

It won't deter those who are serious about taking your stuff, but it appears to have an effect on reducing their numbers.
