My gut feeling is that there is no overlap between everyone that gets inconvenienced by DRM crap and the people in high seas (you being the exception) I wonder if publishers would actually save money by simply publishing a pdf/epub and save up on all the enforcement infrastructure/ip. At least for software there is some evidence that the people pirating would never have bought it anyway, specially when they are struggling in developing economies.
