That supposition (based basically on fear by the part of publishers, not fact) might change now that we see that Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts I-IV topped Amazon's paid digital download charts in 2008, despite being offered to fans free of charge beforehand. The same happened on Cory Doctorow's latest book. Weird, eh?
By your logic I could say that carrying guns around in the street is a good thing because I wouldn't walk around otherwise. A bit of a circular logic, you are not pointing any intrinsic goodness on DRM, just saying people won't do otherwise because they won't.
