Beyond all of that, DRM is a big deal on principle.
When I buy a piece of music, I'm not paying for the individual copy (be it mp3, cd or what have you). What I'm actually paying for is the license, which grants me the right to use that piece of music within pre-defined limits. when DRM comes into play, my rights for that music that I have paid for are being restricted. Whether or not I choose to exercise those rights, I still have a problem with this.
I will not pay for music that has any sort of DRM restrictions on it, and that's that.
