I see no evidence that this statement is true, and some evidence, in the form of successful publishers who do not use DRM, that it is false.

The fact that some publishers use DRM is not evidence that it is necessary.

eBooks and publishing seems to be viable despite the fact that every book of any note that is published with DRM immediately appears on the darknet with no DRM.
This, too, is evidence that the statement is false.
