Why are people "buying" DRM infested books? They don't own anything. "Their" books can be taken away at the whim of the seller. Their rights can change with a change to the EULA. There are other legal ways to use e-readers (not Kindles) that let you keep and back up what you buy.

Why are people doing X stupid thing that makes rich people richer at their own expense?

It's the herding and conditioning. The sheeple have not woken up.

So many things make so much more sense when we realize this.
