IMO, people who will not buy an ebook because of DRM, but will buy the paper book instead, are a publisher's dream, and an added incentive for maintaining DRM.
Unfortunately, only the "pirating" alternative has the teeth, to force lower prices and DRM removal, for ebooks. Just like it did for music. |
This doesn't work for several reasons:
1.)They think that whoever downloads pirated books won't pay no matter what.
2.)They will never even know that they actually lost a sale -- unless you write to them.
3.)It will just make them think that they need even stronger DRM lockdowns.
The only thing that has a chance of working is refusing to buy, refusing to pirate, AND letting them know why.
