I don't like DRM at all. However I find Ereader's DRM to be the least objectionable because it is tied to me, not to any device I might own or use. Yes it's unfortunate that there are no eInk readers that support it (are you listening Sony?) but I know that I can freely transfer, use and copy the file as I need to.
I'm also concerned about draconian DRM because I believe it does make piracy more common. There's a clear pattern in human behavior that we don't have to follow the rules when dealing with our enemies. Overly strict DRM treats customers like enemies, and thus puts the rights-holder into that "enemies" group that doesn't need to be given the same respect that others do.
Hopefully we will see an end to the format wars that doesn't tie everyone to Amazon in the near future.
