I don't pirate
but I hate DRM. It's a huge scam that penalizes legitimate users and doesn't do anything to stop real pirates. It makes me disrespect the industry and less likely to buy encumbered products. In my life, I have bought a total of two songs from iTunes before they went DRM free because I hate Big Brother controlling media I own.

Sorry for the rant.
