You got it!
I notice quite few posts by other people who say, "well, I only read a digital book once so I don't care if it is DRM or not." Well, try thinking in terms of principle and not in terms of your own regular practice.
Some of us may never buy a DRM digital book because some of us (like myself) borrow digital library books from the public library or read our own academic PDFs (which are DRM free) on our readers, but on principle I can still say I don't like DRM digital books.
Or put it this way: you don't live in 1980s South Africa and so apartheid does not directly affect you. Should you say, "I don't care because that form of racialised society doesn't affect me because I don't live in it?"
Hmm....
