Hell, I'll pirate a show to avoid waiting until the next day to watch it on Amazon. I still buy it, but why the hell should I have to wait.
I'm not even super anti-DRM. It's dumb, but if I can watch the show I just don't care. Just let me pay you money to watch content.
Easiest thing in the world and they fuck it up constantly.

That's one of our biggest problems: no one cares about DRM until it directly hinders them. Most people don't care about watching Netflix in Linux, but the rest of us have to deal with being arbitrarily constrained to 720p. Most people don't mind their favorite video game needing to ask the internet for permission to load, or frequent large forced updates, but that leaves people with slow or limited internet in a frustrating situation. Our society's problem is apathy: so long as copyright holders provide the bare minimum, they can avoid any serious action, because there simply aren't enough people willing to act against copyright abuse.
