  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.

      Also you can remove some types of DRM with DDRM plugin for calibre.

    Pirate stuff. That’s the easiest way to make sure you own it

      Even if you buy it(which I do support more and more), pirate it. We’re at a point where it’s just far easier to use the pirated versions of a lot of digital items and you also don’t have to worry about someone “taking it back” afterwards.
