Actually,there is just as much a shortage of data on your side as well.What are your figures showing that offering books DRM free would not cause massive losses to publishers and major authors?
THe music industry? Well, its surviving after a fashion: but its revenues have collapsed since the intoduction of Napster and large scale casual sharing .
The video industry? They still DRM their products.
Might-bes and ifs are worthless, particularly where you are gambling with the livelihoods of authors, their families and the many employees of the pubklishing industry who work for and support those authors.
