Completely irrelevent. It's still illegal, and anyone who downloads it is breaking the law. How can you possibly know that everyone who downloaded it has also purchased the book?

Fact: DRM doesn't work. All DRM has been cracked.
DRM exists for only 1 purpose: to lock a user into a certain company. It does not, cannot, protect the content.
DRM is a failure. To think it's "critically important" is to ignore the facts and think that customers are morons.

Of course DRM protects content - that's what it's for. You are entirely incorrect in saying that all DRM has been cracked - can you give me a link to a crack for Mobipocket DRM, for example? For about Adobe's DRM? No? I thought not.
