Or sometimes you write boilerplate for the most comprehensive case. Of course my assumption is that if DRM isn't specified in the contract then DRM won't be applied to the book. Maybe I'm wrong. If that's the case (non-specification means Amazon uses DRM) then DRM is the default. Otherwise the default is no DRM & the most comprehensive case specifies that it will be used, hence its inclusion in the boilerplate contract.
