Of course if the issue is one of principle, ie: that DRM is evil and should never have been invented in the first place, that is another matter and I'd have to say I agree. In principle that is.

Before too many years the convergence of better and better displays together with better and better ocr software will end drm ebooks once and for all.
Because it will become possible to use a camera to rip books from a screen flawlessly. It may be four years down the road, or it may be sixteen years down the road.
Just as the development of wysiwyg word processors eventually reached the point where improvements for the purpose of printing documents became moot, this will happen.
