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.
Serious? I would have thought that most people would choose this line of thinking - get non-DRM if not available choose to buy DRM or not (perhaps even choose the paperback edition in that case).
I know there are many people here who feel very strongly about DRM and I respect that. However, many other people just want to read the book - while preferably avoiding breaking any laws.
