A few questions for you DRM supporters:
Do you have friends who read ebooks?
How many of your friends are giving you ebook files?
If any actually gave you an ebook was it one that you would have
purchased yourself?
If you are a writer have you ever pushed off your efforts onto others for free?
If so, did you put some DRM on it first? If not, why not?
Do you really believe anyone who tells you "x" number of sales were lost to "casual
piracy"? Also, that "x" number more sales would have been lost if there no DRM on
your ebook? Do you think anyone really knows how often your ebook might have
been "casually" shared? (You do realize that to "casually share" an ebook it would
have been purchased first?)
Do you think DRM stops actual Piracy (placing an ebook on the internet for free
distribution)? If so, how do you explain books being available, as ebooks, on the
internet, long before any official ebook w/DRM is released? (i.e. The Harry Potter
Series)
These should be easy questions for you to answer, I eagerly await your replies.
Luck;
Ken
