Not necessarily. I suppose strictly speaking Tor didn't benefit from DRM (except for being in a position to strike deals with book publishers who might've been skittish without DRM).
What might be interesting to know is if there were any impact of ebook sales of OTHER ebook stores who continued to use DRM during that time period. If sales of the same books that Tor sold DRM-free dropped at other places still using DRM (like Amazon) then the argument could be made that the DRM-free versions sold by Tor helped supply pirates with books. But this too is pure speculation.
