Heh, in your world, these congresspersons and presidents must pay real attention to the letters from people opposed to parking meters, stop signs, "dogs on leash" ordinances, and so on.
When the majority of the population ignores a law, it may simply mean that the law is wrong.
I'll repeat: P-R-I-C-E.
Amazon sells a lot of books, legally available all over the internet for FREE. Heck, Mein Kampf was on their best-seller list, and all it takes to get it on your Kindle, is a free Google search.
But at $2, the price was right for enough buyers.
It's the same for the rest. Price an ebook right, and most interested parties will buy it. DRM is simply an (ineffective) tool to try to gouge the market.
