A few points...
1. Do you feel that a pirated version is a lost sale? Would a person that steals the ebook have bought it in the first place?
2. Given that pretty much every DRM scheme has been cracked. What are you actually gaining by using DRM other than some false sense of security?
3. Do you realize how much DRM inhibits your customers from using the ebook as they would like on the device of their choice?
4. Are you aware that there are ebook version on the "darknet" of books that have never even been published as ebooks because the author was worried about piracy? The Harry Potter books being a case in point?
