if Analog-hole is the ultimate tool then everything is venerable, including cable/digital TV, stock image websites, video streaming sites and everything else that can be captured digitally. What is your advice for them, drop all guards ? what message it will give to their consumer, that their service is for free? There is importance of perception and fear play most with average people.

I don't know, why don't you ask all the authors who are currently making a living without DRM....

What the frack does that have to do with anything?

Cost of a title will determine whether eBook will be pirated or not. Currently print is main form of income for publisher/author and anything that eBook sales yield is considered bonus. I know that some are making living from "only digital" editions, but how much is that any figure?
In my opinion, spending money on books is always risky, specially when you don't know beforehand that it will really be rewarding, only after a week you know, that's how I experience most of the time. unless i hook up with a particular author, so your take on "honest buyer" is holds as long as peoples are rich.
And as long as a technology do not affect most of us in a substantial manner we do not care, and that is the situation right now. See nowadays politicians are talking about curbing net neutrality because now it is affecting them. Few years from now piracy will not be something you can ignore, then the question will not be that if you made money but whether it was enough?
