Your insistence on calling those who buy DRMed materials "dumb" or "foolish" and/or "naive" ignores the fact that some of us do it out of pure apathy and/or fully-informed selfishness. I for one, care absolutely nothing about the silly, childishly-idealistic, self-inflicted hair-shirt you're so proud of wearing and pointing at. I am neither dumb, nor foolish, nor naive, nor uninformed. I simply have no desire to deprive myself of works/authors I enjoy for an "ideal" that doesn't move me--or a hurdle that is easily stepped over if I choose to.
So if you're going to continue calling people like me names, at least cover all the bases.
