It looks like all of the moral arguments are on the side of anti-amazon, anti-DRM, anti-Kindle, and the only arguments on the other side are self-interested to the point of being selfish.

Is there no one ANYWHERE who has launched even a semi-compelling ethical defense of DRM?
The ethical argument for DRM is to preserve the rights of authors to be paid for their work. Which is why some authors are pro-DRM.
