No. I do not think my paying customers are crooks. I do not add DRM for them. I add it for the casual "Giving it to my friend."
Just because I lock my car does not mean I think my neighbors are crooks. I am not locking it because of them. Does it inconvenience my husband when he goes out there to grab a CD from the car? Well, if he didn't bring his keys, yes and even with his keys there is an extra step.
Yes, I understand that by adding DRM I am inconveniencing a few of my customers. To avoid that, I sell most of my books direct from my site. If they wish to avoid the removal step, they can buy the books there. I try to be a reasonable seller. I try to accommodate and still protect my livelihood. Do not take my protective steps personally. It is not about you. It's not an 'accusation.' It is utilizing tools that are available to me to make the best decisions possible.
