I think you have me confused with someone else
I've repeatedly said that DRM is stupid and doomed to failure. That it's a scam that companies are using to milk money out of the RIAA. That it serves no purpose other than to drive legitimate customers to obtaining content through illegal means.

But if you're willing to buy DRM'ed music, you should abide by the license that you agreed to. If you don't want to, then buy your music in another form.
