Whilst I could probably circumvent DRM, via stripping, I've chosen to boycott it instead. It will be interesting to see what happens in five or ten years time, when people with e-readers try to move the DRM restricted books that they've bought to other devices, based on different technologies.
Doing that you really only hurt yourself, you don't get to read the books that you want to read or you have to go to the darknet. That approach would only work if almost everybody did it the same way.
