Your audiences sound to be more savvy than the average ebook consumer, though.

I agree with both these points.
However, I don't agree that using DRM will help to limit distribution of illegal copies. Since the OP's audience are tech-savvy, I suspect they'll either already know how to break DRM or get a free copy, or they'll be able to find out. I doubt DRM will have any impact on piracy in this instance.

I've not seen anyone suggest that DRM is a useful legal tool before. Why do you say that? Is it because it's illegal to circumvent DRM in some jurisdictions?
