Clearly. I prefer to try and discuss things without resorting to name calling. But you knock yourself out.

OK. Let's take this one step at a time.
What exactly have I posted that is bullshit?
That you will lose 9% of your potential market?
That DRM causes lots of problems for legitimate users?
I have provided links to prove all that.
So what, exactly, are you saying is bullshit. Please quote examples.

Actually, if you had read any of the links I had posted you will see that companies ARE losing customers over DRM.
There are lawsuits.
Electronic Arts, a leading maker of computer games, defrauds consumers through its "Spore" game, which "completely wipes their hard drive" and replaces it with an undisclosed program that prevents the computer from operating under some circumstances and disrupts hardware operations, a class action claims in Federal Court.
The class claims that "Spore," a virtual reality simulation game, contains "a second, undisclosed program" called SecuROM, a "form of Digital Rights Management (DRM) for computer games."

Yup. Not because you can't keep 100% of the people out, but because it fundamentally doesn't work.
