Copyright law isn't DRM, but inserting a copyright notice into an ebook is a method of managing rights, same as inserting a watermark.

Perfectly true, to be sure, but that doesn't mean that those people are right. The majority opinion is not necessarily the accurate one.
What is important to those buying the book is whether DRM will restrict their ability to download or read the book. Encryption is a completely different matter than copyright page or watermark.
