Frankly I don't really care if you find them incompatible.
In a previous thread I asked the following question......
If an ebook came with no DRM, full ownership rights, fair use policy applied, ability to on-sell it, formatted well and at a reasonable price(all the usual justifications for "file-sharing"), would people still consider it "wrong" to "file-share" it rather than buy it?
Funnily enough it seemed most arguing that "file-sharing" is ok because ebooks don't come with all the above still couldn't bring themselves to admit that it might "wrong".
This clearly indicated to me that the issue really isn't about DRM and all the rest of it at all.
Therefore, I'm not interested in the DRM issue as I believe it is a minor issue in comparison with the desire to access the content for free or at lesser cost.

I can claim it simply because I have an interest in one and not the other.
