None of the alternative in the poll answer the question in the thread title ("does DRM drive you to piracy?"). The last alternative should be split into "Refuse to buy", "Refuse to buy amd pirate", "Refuse to buy and wait for breakable DRM" or something like this.

I refuse to buy DRM:ed books and that has lead to me pirating some book.

I also think it is immoral to remove DRM from a book since you then supports the system with DRM and will cause it to live longer.
