As a content creator, I use DRM free leanpub.com to produce books under a Creatuve Commons license. I also give away the same books for free on my web site. To be clear, the vast majority of my income is being paid for work, so it is easy to be a little generous. I am not a corporation who has to maximize profit to shareholders.
As a consumer of content, I like purchasing books that are (sometimes watermarked) PDFs or ePub. When that is not possible, I do buy DRM books, but split my purchases between Apple, Amazon, and Google.
My wife and I have no network TV but we are happy to support content creation by paying subscriptions to Netflix, HBO, Prime, and Hulu. I could care less about owning “forever copies” of entertainment. I do want to support the industry financially.
For music, streaming services like YouTube Music and Apple Music are great for discovery, but when I find a song that I really love, I don’t mind spending $1 per song if I can get it DRM free on Amazon.
