People misunderstand. The point is not that DRM stops piracy, the point is that effective LE stops piracy. Once the piracy sites are closed down, authors will feel secure about giving up DRM. .
At this point, we are telling authors " Give up on DRM and in return, we'll do nothing about protecting your IP rights". Not surprisingly, they're not convinced.
Putting down the threat of losses due to filesharing would reassure authors and other copyright holders. It would also move us to a public, politically accountable process of protecting copyright holder's rights instead of a private, proprietary, and largely ineffective solution.
