The presumption that I am a criminal, after I shelled out my money to buy the CD, is galling.

The concept of DRM drives me nuts, but in practical terms, it's easily defeated, so it's no major problem at all for me.

If it has DRM, I won't buy it. Period.

I refuse to buy any music with DRM.

I will not buy any music in any format that uses DRM technology. No way.

If I know that something has DRM, I won't buy it.

If I know that something has DRM, I won't buy it.

I don't buy DRM-locked products. Why should I? I never exchanged files or music over the web and I'd like to have the chance to do a copy for my car system etc.

I pay for every note of music I hear. I want to. If you think music should be free, you should perform YOUR job for no pay. Do not want to, huh???? Now you get it!!!!! Communism and socialism failed for a reason.

To keep music industries Companies profitable!

Sony/BMG is the DRM dragon while Sony Vaio makes a 200 disc CD ripper. Go figure!

DRM prevents me from ripping SACDs and DVD-As to my computer audio system. As a result, I don't buy either.

Not me. Never. Affects sound quality, punishes the customer and why bother when alternatives are still available.

I paid for it; I should be able to copy or edit it.

I do purchase music but I still have a cassette deck in my car and at home. I try not to put my cd's at risk in the car so I tape music for trips.

If it uses DRM I know it will give me a lot of problems playing it on all my devices so I simply avoid buying it. By error I once bought a music disc (No one makes CD's any more) with so-called "copy protection", I had yo make a copy in order to play it. I had no problems making a copy and playing the copy, but the original simply would not play. Why can't the industry stop harrasing those who want to pay for the product?

I will not buy a CD or DVD that I cannot make a backup copy of.

It appears the music business will put the screws to anyone to make a buck. With their attitude they should get into gasoline sales (now I wish I hadn't said that!!)

DRM is a dead on arrival deal ith me. DRM means (a) I will not use buy it and (b) I will search the internet for the cracking software that surely will follow any DRM. Just make the software cheap enough and stop spending money on phyrric crusades that do nothing but bug the buying public. Enough!

I make every effort to purchase around it - vinyl is my primary format these days together with such CD suppliers as Mapleshade.
