O'Reilly's original post does not say anything about DRM.

  Apparently DRM was dropped 18 months ago, and mentioned in a previous O'Reilly announcement. This current post linking to the announcement of sales going up is simply inferring that one lead to the other.

    I'm aware of what is being said. I'm pointing to the fact that it's Cory Doctorow saying it, not O'Reilly.

    I don't think that point was to infer one led to the other, but rather that DRM didn't lead to rampant piracy that demolished sales (as many predicted would happen).

    O'Reilly has never used any DRM on their own (oreilly.com) downloadable stuff ever. The first 12 titles they put into the Amazon Kindle Store had (were forced to have) DRM for a while, then they got Amazon to drop the DRM.
