Perhaps the analogy comes in because people feel they are entitled to do what they want and be cheered on for it?

Nah... bringing food or drinks into a pub or restaurant is something I wouldn't think about. If you do that, then there is no reason anymore to go to said establishment.
Bringing my own M&M's and coke to a movie theather... well... if they'd ask *normal* prices for such things, comparable to what you'd pay in a pub or restaurant, and not twice or sometimes three times as high, then I probably wouldn't bring stuff there either.

Most strong DRM opponents in this forum, admit to being able to break the DRM. Is the fact that they don't want to break the rule/law etc. the big problem with paying the same price? I can understand that and if indeed they refuse to strip the DRM on moral principals, well good for them.
If they strip the DRM and wail like the Dutch oover the price of coffee, well that might be analogous to me jaywalking (illegal where I live) and standing on a corner wailing because the law made me commit a crime.

In my case, I pay for stuff like ebooks, movies and games because it doesn't feel right to me to NOT pay for them. If I can get something the legal way, I will. But I don't accept any restrictions, so I'll rip out any DRM. If I can't, I won't pay.
