I think that most customers are now already wanting to pay for contents, even with the plain ebooks that we have now. And I think that most customers do want to conform to the copyright laws, not only because of the consequences of violating them, but because they consider them for the greatest part fair. But there are a couple of aspects that are unfair, for example the prohibition to convert your honestly paid DRM'ed ebooks to another device. For example when you got fed up with your Kindle and you want a Sony. Or when you had bought Mobipockets in the past and they are no more supported on your new device.
