Paul, actually, quite a few people here have been working hard pushing this matter to the government (in America and elsewhere).
Now, I don't condone piracy at all, but I tend to agree with these guys. Especially if you're self publishing, do it DRM free. You'll gain a lot of people's respect. I have several DRM free books and it never enters my mind to share them illegally. I want to support the author. A lot of readers are like that. Yeah, sure, some people will share it illegally, but I doubt that it'll lower sales.
But whatever, it's your wife's book. You guys do what you want. Like others have said before me, this crew hates DRM, so you've pretty much asked the wrong crowd.
