There's no contention.. my comment was just a natural extension of what you wrote. Many consumers are blind to what's going on, and it was a good opportunity to point out the future of the currently tiny wall.
Awareness is part of the battle. The literature industry does not want consumers as a whole to see this coming - because if they did, they could act to mitigate the damage (thus reduce publishers future profits).
Some people buy DRM'd material and then strip off the DRM - but of course that still financially supports the direction publishers are going in. Personally, I would not do that. I would only purchase non-DRM'd material, even though I'm quite capable of hacking the DRM off. I would not want to send a false signal that I'm okay with DRM.
