I have a simple rule: I don't pay money for drm. I buy a lot of games on gog.com, itch.io, and get classical music through Hyperion records. Every creative professional I know gets about ten pence a year to live on after half a lifetime of (post-grad) education and is a very dedicated and intelligent professional who is either supported by the church of England, teaching on the side to pay the bills, another charitable organisation, or is independently wealthy. Record labels really don't provide much for either end of the pipeline and I think that most people in society recognise that.
