I voted I think that DRM is ok ... but I don't think it is ok as it is implemented. DVDs are sold with DRM; cable TV is sold with DRM; satellite radio is sold with DRM. I don't have an issue with rights-holders having some control over distribution and use. You don't have to consume the product if you don't want to.
I voted I would strip DRM from any book that I buy ... but I'd rather not go through that hassle. I do it because I want a clean back-up should it ever be necessary; I want to read on two different readers which support mutually-exclusive DRM models; I remove DRM so I can add my own background notes, change covers, and do other customization to my personal copy which leaves the author's work untouched.
I voted I rarely share books, but would like that option ... and that includes sharing with in-house family members. But, it's not critical: we can hand the e-reader back and forth. Afterall, if I buy one copy of a paperback only one of us can read that at a time. I'm ok with that.
