I don't think I've ever said "we must use DRM", I've only attempted to explain some of the reasons behind it. If people didn't regularly violate agreements (as they admit to here) then companies wouldn't spend so much time trying to find ways to enforce their agreements. So you're right, it is circular, but I don't see it as that convoluted.

Many people, myself included, state our preference by not purchasing DRM protected books. It's quite simple really. There is no need to act dishonourably or to work yourself up trying to find excuses for saying one thing and doing another. If enough people do it the retailers may even catch on ... eventually.
