One point that keeps getting stepped on is about how Authors can or can't opt out of DRM. I keep hearing "well the authors don't like it either." Of course if the author has signed an agreement to have DRM on a book, then he is bound by that agreement, but on other books, he can do what he wishes.
My point is that an author can sell an eBook in a myriad of ways without DRM. All he has to do is choose to.
I choose to have DRM, though I might make an exception on a series to reach some new readers. That is what marketing and advertising is all about.

That's very true Custer my old friend (I'm presuming your photo is of Custer or some other dead redneck). The problem with most new authors is that they don't want to rock the boat, so if they are told you have to use DRM to publish with us, they follow on like sheep and do as they're told. Also like sheep they like to bleat about it afterwards, but will never stand up for their beliefs.
