Yes, because I go out of my way to make damn sure of it.

How ? Please share so that people like me can learn. I've started watching Louis Rossman YouTube videos and that guy actually makes sense about how companies are treating their customers.

Not the OP, but I'm buying DRM free ebooks and software only, and for every album, movie or series I purchase, I'll download a pirated copy that I add to my offline storage + backup.

If a book I want is not available without DRM, I'll buy a hardcover and a pirated copy.
