Seconded (or thirded/fourthded, wotever...)
People do sometimes get DRM and copyright confused, in a way - the arguments are well rehearsed, but I've found a reasonable explanation for my own conscience.....
If it's designed to screw extra cash out of ereaders it's DRM, if it's there to ensure earnings go to the author... it's copyright.
Allegedly.
