At some point, buying music online, the drm just say "no". So i goes to the fnac, grab the Cd, look at the price "mmm, what ? 20 euros, i guess i can live without that."
I hardly bought music.
Now, i can buy mp3 album for 10 euros, have a spotify premiun account.
Why are DRM a problem ? I'm a linux user. Trying to read protected content with linux is a pain at best, is not impossible.
Second senario : i went from mobipocket to ePub. Lucky i could de-drm my book, and keep them.
Me, as a buyer, don't want to mess with activation, authorization and all that. I want to read, that just it.
I also got screwed by ade once, result being two totally useless book i had to repay...
I feel safe buying e-books because I can de-drm. If not, i would go to paper book, or the darknet.
