If it's indeed the publishers asking for more, new and better DRM, then they STILL don't understand.
DRM will always be broken, at some point. History proved it. Result: pirating is better than buying, because in the former way you get books without DRM and without restrictions. They are free, which is ice on the cake.
DRM encourages people to pirate books, if they can't remove it themselves.
Ask a fair price.
Don't impose restrictions.
SELL like a maniac.
For frack's sake, start understanding this.
GOG.com proves that it works with 15 year old computer games. It also works with new games. Why wouldn't it work for bestseller books?
If people could get the last bestseller hit for $5 without DRM, sales would skyrocket. Nobody wants to pay $14.99 fora DRM'd book.
