I will not purchase any ebook wrapped in DRM, out of principle. I have downloaded a few 'freebies' with DRM, but stripping said DRM is the first thing I do. I strongly believe that 'knuckling under' and buying DRM'd books, then promptly stripping the DRM, is the worst kind of precedent us ebook enthusiasts can set. The bottom-line is if the publishers are still raking in strong profits with DRM in place, even if people complain about it, nothing is going to change. Vote with your wallets guys! as consumers, that's about the only voice we have.
I find the majority of my ebooks on 'darknets' due to the above. If I enjoy the book, I'll pick up a firsthand paperback edition to support the author.
