If you are intent on viewing every customer as a potential criminal, it is hard to envision providing content without DRM.

As you note, the arguments (and some small amount of data) are already out there, if the publishers are willing to think about this with an open mind (and try to imagine things from the customer's point of view).

They ignore them at their peril.
