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....
"OUCH" Guess I've been burned for offering my humble comment. Sorry, btw, don't lump me in with communism etc. I am an American and proud of it and I do believe in free enterprise. Have a nice day
