That's assuming one has ideals. I do not. I complain because an unremovable DRM doesn't let me edit my ebooks and make back-up copies, not because I have lofty principles about DRM. And I buy from Amazon as long as DRM can still be removed. I will never buy an ebook with an unremovable DRM, because I don't want to read an ebook I haven't edited first. Nothing to do with ideals or principles.
