But what would be the incentive to lower prices now? If I have a customer base that is accustomed to paying $7.99 why would I lower my price? Aside from some special offering centered around a holiday or other event, I just don't see a motive for it to happen.

It simply isn't an issue even now as far as I'm concerned.

But I did address this, remarking that the population here is quite small compared to the number of devices in the hands of the public. We are in no way the typical user and you can't compare what people do here with what the average person would do.
I also don't hold to the belief that DRM is going away. There might always be a way to circumvent or remove it but to get to the point where hands are thrown up in surrender just doesn't seem realistic.
