I can see how removing DRM could reduce piracy. I assume that the publishers charge so much for ebooks due to the cost of putting DRM on a book. If they drop that extra cost they could (in theory) lower prices and cash strapped people suffering in a horrible economy could afford to buy books.
I would never download a book, but when I see a book from one of my favourite authors has a book coming out in Jan and the hardback is $16 and the kindle edition is $13. Really?
