Came here to say: me, too. When I see something like Kindle or Audible, the first thing I do is check to see if I can strip off the DRM. If I'm buying it, I have the right to use it anyway I see fit (short of copying and redistributing...obviously). I still check the DRM-free places first, because they deserve the sale, even if the price is higher. If I can't, I'll buy it and strip the DRM off (super simple, with the right software). If that won't work, I'll check the darknet. If there's a decent copy there, then I'll buy the useless DRM work (so the author gets paid), and use the darknet copy for my library. Technically, this probably breaks several US laws. But I don't think any lawyer wants to try a case where I paid for the books/audiobooks, then removed their DRM. Kinda hard to show damages, or bad intent.
