Generally you need to be asking for DRM-free at the publisher level, as (excepting a few people like Doctorow), authors have very little influence on such things, frequently not having expertise to judge the best policy, and signing contracts which leave it up to their publishers to make the decisions in this field. (I know Tad is pretty clueful about these things, but even so I'd still expect him to have left it up to Daw.) So please contact Daw about this. Given Tor's recent highly-publicized switch to go all-DRM-free (see here, and here for argumentation), they should be paying even more attention than usual to signals they get from their readers about the importance we give to such things.
