I'm all for getting rid of DRM, but what's an effective way of actually getting rid of it? Are a few people on an internet forum really going to make enough of a dent that publishers will notice? Are those people letting the publishers know each time that they were going to buy a book and didn't and why? IMO the ebook market needs to grow a lot before anything will happen about big pubs dropping DRM. That's basically what happened with the digital music market.
