Repeat after me: Just say No. If enough people actual spoke with their dollars instead of with subterfuge then publishers/sellers may actually start to adapt. At the moment they have little incentive to improve their ways, and who knows some of their silly clauses may pay off one day.
It wouldn't really matter what a small minority of people do, it is what the majority do that counts. And for the majority, DRM restrictions are not a problem. But even if they were, how would the suppliers know you didn't buy from them because of the restrictions they put on their products and not some random other reason?
