I would suggest that there are two different discussions here, and that is the source of some of the tension.
1) What should authors/publishers do to maximize sales and reduce piracy (good marketing).
2) What rights can authors/publishers exert over the works they create.
As an illustration, I don't believe that an author should sell their book for $1 million, but they have the right to do so. Likewise, I am much more likely to buy a low cost, open format ebook with text-to-speech enabled. However, if the creator wants to restrict and overprice the book, then that is their choice. I would get just as far complaining about their plot and I'm better off not buying it.
