As a writer who has been involved in this for many years, I think that the whole DRM and terror of piracy is frankly a bunch of hogwash dreamed up by the consultants who are making a fortune off the sucker publishers by "protecting" them from slavering teenagers.
These companies are scum of the earth. They are the same people who brought us the y2k scare. (Not the ones who were actually patching the computers, but the ones who were selling survival kits and race-war training.)
This is an excellent time to be a writer. The paradigm actually changed years ago, but as is usual throughout history, it was quiet. There was no rioting in the streets. The world didn't come to an end - and so nobody noticed that the future was yesterday.
Change brings opportunity. It always has, and always will. (It also brings fear - which is exploited by opportunists, but if you keep your head and remain flexible, you don't have to fall for their scams.)
