I have published peer-review journal articles that are not supposed to be photocopied and distributed. I know that it was. Now I find out even more when students email me about my few articles.
I have worked at Universities here in the States and in England. (This was way before computers were common place.) Copyright laws have never been adhered to at the University level.
I have written some (fairly lengthy) technical 'How To' manuals and I'm glad to share.
I have also published a work of fiction. I'm not sure how much the demand is; I'm sure not going to be rich!
It's a very difficult question. As a reader, I will not ever support any published work that has DRM that cannot be removed. The same goes for movies and such.
I want to be able to use purchased items however I like. (Obviously that does not include sharing them.)
