Drm doesn't stop piracy, because anyone who has the tech know-how to strip drm has the know-how to upload to torrent sites/mobilism etc, and drm is a pretty paper thin protective measure against those sorts of people. For the general populace, it is a non-issue, as most don't even know it's there, and don't care because they are locked into their respective ebook ecosystems and just want to read their books on their respective devices. I suspect most people would give you a confused look if you started talking to them about Calibre, drm and that certain apprentice.
