Here is my take on this thread, (and I'll claim to have stirred the bucket a bit with a post of mine).
This issue is heavily polarized and I doubt beliefs are going to change much. I'm glad the thread was started so I could read (hear) the opposing view. Good to feel the vibes.
For those of you authors that want to DRM your ebooks. Do it. For those of you that don't want your works DRM'd, don't select it.
For those readers that refuse to buy DRM'd books. Don't buy 'em. (Go on a hunger strike while your at it––that last is humor by the way––don't get in a huff, we can still sit down and drink beer and talk books.)
I predict this will all be a mute point down the road. In five years, or so, there will one eBook format and it'll have one extra-nasty DRM. That's what I foresee, like it or not.
