I am not going to knock your approach and do find it admirable. However, if all the bestsellers and books that are important to the people purchasing books are in DRM then how can it be stopped? Even with sites that allow one to grab non DRM versions not enough people will follow this suggestion. I won't if those sites have illegal copies and not paying the publisher. I am not going to steal a product to make a point. The better choice is to not buy ebooks or music, etc until DRM is resolved that benefits all parties. But then we lose out on having an eReader. Another tact is to raise our voices. This does work.
