No, try actually reading my post. Music sales recovered. You cannot use a single site as your example, you have to study the market. And their market share is far, far lower than five years ago in the UK, in large part because they were so tardy in removing DRM compared to Amazon, Play and so on.
And no, EBOOK sales are down. Again, try reading my post. And no, I'm not going to believe a word you say, why should I? You've clearly pushing a very specific agenda, and despite the fact you proved my point, you're now arguing the Corperatist agenda into the ground (again).
Huliuu and...what other mass-market sites? Let's be clear on this. Youtube? The vast majority of customers notice DRM the second it impacts them. Netflix is a tiny bit player, iPlayer is free and so on.
Some consumers will use DRM, others only until it impacts them. Some will not. Others will break it. Sales WILL be lower than if you used no DRM at all. Other factors are at play as well, of course, but those aspects are already clear.
The supermajority of people willing to bypass regional restrictions on this forum alone give the lie to your wild claims. Of course there are uses for DRM, but many of them don't touch consumers directly at all, and to be viable for rentals, DRM'ed content needs to be either free or at rental prices.
