I think you're "assuming facts not in evidence" there, my friend.
(As a side note, I know you probably don't
mean it that way, but that comment reads a bit like an accusation, and I figure you probably don't want to come across that way, so I thought I'd point it out to you.

ProfJulie didn't say anything about her book having DRM on it. In fact her only DRM related comment in that post (that I see) were these two:
