Of course, and I think it is also fair for consumers to voluntarily protest DRM before it is placed on our devices by expressing our concerns, as opposed to afterward when we have to do so by voting with our wallets. I don't think its "my right" to have DRM-less devices, but I think all the criticisms about freedom and security are valid as long as they are meant to appeal to the producers by signaling our desires as consumers (this as opposed to for example suggesting there should be a law against DRM which I would be against). In theory the ideal would be for everyone to be on the same page before these decisions get made.
