DC have known about it for at least 5 years, because that is how long ago I read an interview with Dan Didio in which the subject was brought up. I can't find it now, but there is a reference to it here:

DiDio has said he believes downloading comics allow fans the opportunity to sample books they might want to purchase and he's said the publisher is aware of the fact that due to economic reasons, it's unrealistic to expect DC fans to purchase the more than 60 books they put out monthly
I know Marvel started going after download sites just before they launched their digital comics subscription thing, so maybe this means that DC are getting ready to introduce something similar?
