I know Marvel & DC are unlikely to jump on, but one can hope.
Dare I say it, I might even be willing to pay slightly more for a non-DRM version. Something that reasonably covers the "losses" to piracy. (As if there are not plenty of pirate comic sites available, if that is your inclination.) Even if they say "we lose ~25% of sales to piracy." Charge me an extra 25% for DRM-free. On a $1.99 back issue, that's 50 cents. Well worth it to have convenient back ups. Of course, that percentage adds up on new comics or collections, but still, I think, a reasonable compromise.
Personally, I think everything should be DRM free, with ways embedded in the file to track when piracy occurs. It is insulting to be treated like I will pirate something I buy if they don't lock it down on me. My momma taught me better than that.
What about it Big 2? Ready to trust your customers and treat them like responsible adults instead of criminals?
