So you're for banning firearms in the hands of citizens, I think. The death they produce is the same (at the other end of the gun, of course
), just that in one case the shooter thinks he did a good job, but in the other one he's not.
DRM does not affect only books. It affects movies, and music and a lot of other things people simply do not notice (eg the spare parts for cars).
The point I was trying to make is that most people find DRM to be rather annoying, and, like me, use these tools to break free. I currently use some tools to free my DVDs from the mandatory trailers (one cannot skip) and other warnings and annoying things (like the necessity to go through menus, which are complicated and long, to switch the language).
I also don't like that I receive via hidden channels a "helping hand" from any online providers suggesting me that the new book/movie/album corresponding to my tastes (as recorded) has been just launched.
It's all self defence.
