It's also strange that a publisher like BAEN can sell their eBooks without any DRM world wide for a reasonable price, you even can download all available formats. If that would be such a bad thing economically because of piracy then I can't imagine that BAEN would still be in business. Why can't the other publisher offer a similar model?

While others could do the DRM free and multiple format thing, the selling worldwide part is tougher. Baen contracts for non-exclusive Worldwide ebook rights. Something that for now anyway most publishers don't/can't do. Baen is a smaller niche publisher and it's easier to do things than it is for larger, more corporate publishing houses.
