If you give people a choice between an unencumbered reading experience and one that has any kind of DRM, your book is going to be downloaded by a great number of people that might otherwise have been willing to pay for the privelege. I’m not talking about the rights and wrongs of it. It’s just objective fact. All DRM is trivially easy to circumvent and always will be — the cat-and-mouse game between hackers and publishers will always go on. Why spend so much effort and alienate so many readers with a protection scheme that doesn’t work anyway?

How stupid do they think we are? That’s just a rhetorical question because it appears they think we are VERY stupid.
