Pure silliness. The problems at hand are political economic matters. Individualist virtue signaling like refusing distribution with DRM is a good way to build a brand but will have no role whatsoever in actually accomplishing said goals.

This is just author's decision to distribute his audiobook without DRM. I don't see that this decision must necessarily be tied to the actual goals. Maybe author has other goals too and doesn't want to act in conflict with them.

Fair enough. I don't see why he would do it otherwise but I see your point.
