DRM Protection is fine for publishers, and when you buy DRM books you need to remember that you are encouraging publishers to do more of the same.

DRM is Restriction for readers, limiting your choices and what you can do with it.

Would you buy a car that would only run on fuel you bought from the original car dealer?

Would you buy a radio that could only tune in that chains radio stations?
(And prevented you from recording that song you hear)

Nothing will make me stop looking at a new game faster than finding out that it has Starforce (intrusive DRM scheme)

The only way we we have a vote, is to vote with your pocketbook.

Reward good company's like Baen that vary pricing on a reasonable schedule.
That give away some free books, that don't add DRM.

Don't buy from company's and publishers that jack up prices and add DRM.
