You *do* realize that taking such a view is tantamount to choosing to alienate all customers, yes?

I prefer assuming that my product is worth selling and reasonable enough the customers would rather buy than see my product disappear from the market. It's difficult enough in the commercial arena for a business to survive without actively driving customers away with negative attitudes!

There are, however, different types of DRM, some uses of which are perfectly legitimate.

Many libraries for example, now issue eBooks with a form of date-limited MobiPocket DRM. You can read the book for so many weeks after its date of issue, and it then stops working.

That seems to me to be a perfectly legitimate use of DRM technology.
