Like I said earlier, about 1/3 of people find it obnoxious enough to alter their economic behavior. So you have to weigh the possible additional revenue from that 1/3 of people if you abandon DRM against the equally possible loss of revenue from people from people who would have been willing to purchase but now suffer no loss of convenience if they choose not to do so.

You would think they'd consider to drop DRM to gain 1/3 of users who they otherwise lose. But they don't do it. That doesn't make sense to me.
