I've been toying with the idea of adding DRM to my Amazon books, and that kind of upsets me. I like being able to make my books available for everyone to read on whatever device, but Amazon offers the ebook return policy and I'm about 99% sure that some people buy my book, keep a copy, then get a refund. Plus, there was one that came out and ended up on a torrent site that same day and the only sale at that point was on Amazon... and it got returned
So at this point, I don't think DRM is why some people pirate. I just think there's some people out there that do it because they can. And I don't know how much having my books Lending enabled helps to give people second thoughts or anything.
