The way I understand it most writers don't have a say in the matter. Once they are contracted to a publisher those kinds of decisions are up to the publisher. I actually emailed an author regarding getting a DRM-free copy of his book. He told me that his publisher is still 'in the dark ages' in such matters and that there was nothing he could do about it.

Of course there are authors who support DRM. Stupid authors in my opinion.
