    Not the OP, but I’m buying DRM free ebooks and software only, and for every album, movie or series I purchase, I’ll download a pirated copy that I add to my offline storage + backup.

    If a book I want is not available without DRM, I’ll buy a hardcover and a pirated copy.

      Also you can remove some types of DRM with DeDRM plugin for calibre.

      For music, buy a record on Bandcamp to support the actual artists instead of the record label and they give you free FLAC or high quality MP3 downloads along with all physical media. Otherwise pirate the album for a digital copy and buy the physical in a store.
