Buying DRM supports DRM. I do it as little as possible, even though I can remove the DRM if needed. I bought an Kindle ebook for my wife for $14.99 the other day, violating both my pricing rules and my no-DRM rules. I would have bought the hardcover for $18ish instead if it was for myself. But it was a present. Still, I felt guilty supporting DRM.

I do the same with PC games - I buy pretty much zero PC games now due to onerous DRM, or at the minimum, Steam DRM. But I love buying DRM free classic games from GOG.com.
