Hi Scott,
I think shrinking their potential market is
not the least of their considerations - I'm hard pressed to think of an example of a vendor where their market increased after making their media (and I'm thinking back to all media) more restrictive / less open.
So call me a dreamer, but I do think if Amazon were to make their DRM "unbreakable", it would hurt their market share.
As purely anecdotal evidence, count the number of posts in this forum where someone has stated that s/he won't buy from the Apple store, because of Apple's DRM.
Thanks,
