(Bold mine.) That is largely the point that I would like (for obvious reasons) to take away from this. I'm not (yet) convinced that adding DRM actually hurts sales (significantly) of any author that is already selling reasonably well, but even just with the indie data isolated like that, it seems going DRM-free isn't hurting either.
