You know, I don't think its publishers that are for DRM. It's the authors. I think for many authors, DRM is in their contract so the publishers must do this. I've actually talked to some editors who think that the DRM is confusing (even for them) and that it is holding ebooks back but authors are very resistant to their work being so easily pirated. Even when you try to explain to them that the work is already easily pirated, there seems just to be a huge resistance from the creators of the work themselves who have the right to control the manner of distribution.
