A monopoly is like a monarchy or even a dictatorship.

It can be benevolent and bring benefits to the people.

But it never stays that way forever. A few leadership changes and it is likely to be exploiting the people instead.

If there was no DRM there would be less reason for Amazon to sell books under cost - it wouldn't guarantee Kindle sales like it did in the beginning.

Now they are almost doing the opposite - selling the devices for cheap to get people to buy books. But it didn't start out that way.
