I love it, though. Cause the argument goes like this:
Reader & purchaser: Hi! I just bought this new ebook and I want to read this book in any way I please.
Most publishers & Authors: Sorry, you can't do that cause some people steal.
Reader & purchaser: But I didn't steal. I bought it and now I want to read it.
Most publishers & Authors: Sorry, you can't do that cause some people steal. Plus, you might decide to steal, too.
Reader & purchaser: BUT I DIDN'T STEAL ANYTHING. And I supported YOU. Why do you now treat me like this?
Most publishers & Authors: Cause some people steal. How am I to know you aren't a thief, too?! You keep wanting this no DRM thing. Thief.
Reader & purchaser: You know I'm not a thief cause I BOUGHT it.
Most publishers & Authors: Not good enough. Just the fact that you want to do what you want with the ebook you bought from us shows that you have intentions of stealing. Or entering the godforsaken second hand market. That's stealing, too! Thief!
Reader & purchaser: Fine! I won't buy your products again. Go screw yourself.
Most publishers & Authors: Hey, we have a new ebook/book out! Come give us all your money!
*cricket* *cricket*
Most publishers & Authors: Seeee! No one is buying our stuff! It's the thieves and their thievery! Let's add more DRM, that will show them.
