But the fact that pirating is uncomfortable does not constitute an argument that Apple has been better off with DRM than it would be without.

  The DRM makes pirating less comfortable. If you could just go to some website and download the app and drag it into iTunes to get it on your device (that’s what dropping DRM entails) pirating on iOS would be very comfortable, probably on a level with using the App Store.

      Consequently, people pirate less. That’s speculation, sure, but I haven’t heard anyone offer anything better.

        But the question is why that would show that Apple is better off with DRM.
