My 2 cents:
If I have to pay almost the same for the paper and the e-book version I will go for paper and see where I find the e-version (preferably in plain-text format). Luckily we don't have such a thing as DMCA over here.

you may call me a pirate now, but My point of view in this case is, the author got paid for his work if I buy the paper version. I'm definitely not going to pay for the same thing twice. Especially not if I get locked into a DRM-system.
