I'm no advocate of piracy but having twice been effectively ripped off by DRM I can see where you're coming from

And for as long as cracking a DRM scheme to gain your rightful property is illegal, I will advocate piracy.

I buy movies on DVD when I like the show. I also buy books. And occasionally, I also buy music.

The rub: I buy from Half Price Books and other used merchants. For some reason (PROFIT), I cant do this with ebooks and other e-media.

When I'm treated as an enemy, acted upon as an enemy and evil pirate, and charged an arm and a leg for media then proselytised to 'not pirate'... Yeah, Ill pirate.
