Trust me, outside of this site, there are plenty of people who don't know a thing about DRM... a clear majority, I'd say. And even among those who do know about DRM, they don't care while they stay in one environment, because they have forgotten (or intentionally ignored) the instances of past libraries' problems. Few people buy into a product
expecting it to break down.
The members of MR are unique among ebook users, in the minority, more tech-savvy and with longer memories in this particular area. We are the exceptions, not the rule.
That's why the "walled garden" is so particularly galling, because we can see through the curtains that are apparently opaque to others.
