I didn't buy a single music track until Amazon had DRM free music available. Was it a moral stance? No, it was a pain-in-my-ass stance against iTunes and it's stupid legacy DRM model which forced me into their ecosystem aka iTunes which blows.

That being said, when you're a poor high school/college student it doesn't really matter what has DRM or not, you're just plain broke as shit and get everything you can that is free.
