My general thoughts about buying books with DRM and stripping it later is that it does not, ultimately, impact the bottom line of the publishers. I want publishers like Baen that publish non-DRM'd books to experience much larger growth than those who publish DRM'd books; ultimately that might convince the others to stop requiring DRM as well.
Of course that being said, there are quite a few books in the Public Domain I want to read as well  .

i feel the same way, which is why i try to avoid drm-ed books as much as possible (sadly, i'm not a big fan of science fiction, so there's not much to tempt me at baen, which i regret, because i thoroughly approve of their policies and want to support them). and luckily there is also a lot in the PD that i want to read too, so i tend to give this preference while waiting for the publishers to finally figure things out (as i am sure they will, eventually).
