For me, personally, it's not the sharing. I've never even passed CDs around with anyone other than my sister (and it usually wasn't willingly with her, either).
I don't buy DRMed content because I believe it takes away the customer's agency. It's like buying a car. Most of us take out a loan, so the car really belongs to the bank (until the loan is paid off, that is). So, even though we don't own it, the bank doesn't get to dictate what we can and can't do with the car. DRM is akin to the bank saying: "You can have this car, but you can only drive it on Maple Avenue with no passengers".
We need to have a right to choose for ourselves. Most people aren't going to be sharing their music with every Tom, Dick and Harry on the web, and the ones who are will find a way to do it anyway. Just let us honest people have the ability to copy it to and from whatever devices we use.
