I think it will, to a point.
Eliminating casual piracy would be the big result of removing DRM universally.
Readers wanting an ebook can be free to purchase full well knowing that if they change their ereader at some point in the future they can easily format change without having to buy the same book again.
Removing geographic restrictions would be another BIG step in the right direction and that would have a much bigger impact on casual piracy.
I doubt that piracy of music, movies, TV shows, software and ebooks will ever be eliminated, no matter how much is done to try and stop it.
