I refuse to buy DRM'd content. I refused to watch DRM'd streams. I periodically write to media organisations and highlight my opposition to my legal rights under copyright law, and point out that I have not bought their product because of it. I haven't bought a Sony product since their rootkit fiasco, for example, and occasionally remind them of it. I often get a response – usually media companies (like Channel 4 in the UK) reply saying something like "We know this is a bit shit, and we're sorry for it, but it's a contractual obligation we are under". I've never quite understood that argument. Both the BBC and Danish Radio (Denmark's equivalent of the BBC) have no DRM whatsoever on their websites, both buy in lots of programmes, and both send them quite happily over teh interwebz to me when I happen to be in whichever country at the same time. Meanwhile, I buy CDs or DRM-free audio files (hyperion-records.co.uk comes recommended, as does obviously itch.io and gog.com) and continue to rage against the Widevine machine. Occasionally browser adverts will ask to use the widevine CDM on my phone, which yields a large popup saying "never visit this site again" before I hit the 'deny' button...
