I'm afraid that I don't see what you're trying to accomplish by this. Its only impact is going to be to increase the sale of DRM-protected eBooks - is that what you want? The only way to take a stance against DRM is to refuse to buy such books. DRM circumvention does nothing to harm publishers who use DRM, and isn't that what your ultimate goal is?
I'm not sure this is 100% true. I can certainly see that viewpoint, but once the DRM is know to be ineffectual it's about as useful as a chocolate teapot. It's no longer going to deliver the purported "benefits" that are so often touted by those who believe in it.

If all of a sudden we see and increase in the sales of books "protected" by a defunct DRM that's a clear sign that people don't want DRM, but want the product...
