But the publisher will probably just see it as a sign that people "like" their DRM system. It's certainly no incentive for them to drop it, is it? The only way to achieve that is not to buy from that publisher, but rather to buy from those who sell books without DRM.

I don't actually see anything terribly objectionable about ADE DRM; it's a pretty transparent system for the user - it's not like Mobi DRM, where you need to re-download your books if you change your device, and you're in danger of losing them if your retailer goes bust.
