I don't think piracy permeates the ebook market the way it does the music industry. Almost all the posts I've seen on removing DRM involve someone trying to convert an ebook into a format they can read it in. They still pay for the ebook. Therein lies the problem with tying DRM to a specific device: you lose the ability of people to read the book on other devices. I would think publishers want to increase their market size, not limit it.
