I just don't understand how "line go up" is a thing when so many refuse to buy because of stupid DRM. I know we're in a minority, but surely the DRM doesn't actually increase sales, right? People who would pirate will just wait, so I doubt it's actually translating to more sales than if they courted the anti-DRM people.
