You're right.

I used to not buy DRMed eBooks, and I would email the publisher to tell them explicitly that I hadn't bought such-and-such a book because of the DRM.

Since the Mobipocket de-DRM script appeared, I have bought several DRMed eBooks. I should send the publishers another note, saying that I've bought the books despite the DRM, not because of it.
