I don't see anything inherently wrong with that idea. This is the writer's section. I presumed the title of this thread referred to whether DRM was good or bad for the writers. Any goodness DRM might offer a writer would be evidenced as direct to their bottom line, but all the badness to the writer that we are pointing out is only indirect and vague. Goodwill, problems maybe down the road, possible lost sales to anti-DRMers, possible lost sales resulting from sharing, etc.
