Technically, Tor can only objectively claim that their sales numbers have remained relatively
unchanged (or that they find their sales to be
satisfactory) since going drm-free. While it's true that not all pirated books will translate directly to a lost sale, it is equally true that they
can. There's no way to effectively quantify whether or not someone who pirated a book would have purchased it had they not done so.
I'm not defending DRM. I just don't always agree with the specious arguments for why some believe DRM to be utterly ineffective in preventing piracy because: Tor.
