I do not buy ebooks with DRM. I could buy books with DRM and strip the DRM, but I don't both because it is illegal and because I feel the best way of convincing publishers to drop DRM is by making books w/o DRM more successful than those that have it.
In theory, I am not opposed to DRM if the following conditions are met.
1. Its standardized across all significant platforms used for ebook reading.
2. It allows me to read the books I purchased when, where and how I want. In other words, no limits on the number of machines I use to read.
3. I do not have to register machines I use, or a credit card number or any other personal data that can then be sold to marketers.
Of course, since it is hard to imagine any DRM scheme that was not tied to physical media (like DVD's and CD's) meething these criteria, I am going to just keep saying I am opposed to DRM.
