Me, I've stopped caring.

Clearly, you haven't stopped caring.
Also, you must realize that DRM is hardly the only way that people are restricted with purchases. You know, it's illegal to make a copy of a paper book!? WOW! No DRM and it's still "restricted."
Not only that, but did you know that all the DRM-enforced restrictions of Amazon's Kindle store are applied via legalese to the non-DRM books? So just because the technology isn't stopping you, doesn't mean your agreement isn't. And since everyone is a bastion of integrity we all know that nobody would violate such click-through contracts....
I just wonder how long it will be before there is a real serious uprising from consumers where they finally realize how many hundreds of thousands of contracts they've signed but never read, legally binding agreements they've entered that allow changes after the fact without notice, etc., etc. .. Though judging by the average consumer I'd guess that it will never happen. I would also guess that terms violations will never stop either, so maybe both sides are making futile efforts
