My main point was that using Tor's DRM-free approach to argue that it doesn't contribute to more piracy (casual or commercial), or lost sales is a bit unprovable. It only proves that Tor is satisfied with their sales numbers after going DRM-free.
Tor said it. So I'd believe Tor on that. Why would you not believe Tor?
