Given the choice between DRM and non-DRM, obviously I'd go for non-DRM - I'm not quite that dumb  . |
Wow! I've got *average* books from 20 years ago that I re-read at least once every couple of years. Don't get me started on the number of my *favorite* titles which have worn out three and four times due to my re-reading them.
So, for me, as with many other bibliophiles - or so I believe -DRM *is* an issue. Besides, the basic approach of DRM is the publisher crowding into my face - after I've made the purchase - and chastizing me for being a thief out only to ruin him. Sorry, come again!?! I don't take that from any other retailer/manufacturer, so why should I tolerate it from music and book publishers?
