There's a reason why customers pirate and the reason is because companies put customers through all this garbage.

Well it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem, who started it? Customers pirating or companies adding DRM to their products?
I would wager that there's a good number of people who pirate things for the simple reason of them not wanting to pay for anything. This is the catalyst.
There's a reason why companies put customers through all this garbage and the reason is because I can easily pirate these books. So the story isn't as one sided as this guy makes it out to be. It's a contentious issue between customer rights of ownership and piracy.
