The thing that put me off software / music / movie piracy 20+ years ago wasn’t DRM. It wasn’t the RIAA suing children for ludicrous amounts. It wasn’t the DMCA or EUCD. It was a study from Harvard that showed that piracy increased sales by providing a free marketing channel (and, for software, a path to lock in). I realised I didn’t want to contribute to the success of companies who refused to sell their product in a form and at a price I considered acceptable.
I started boycotting Hollywood in the 90s, too. Because of all their copyright nonsense. I didn't pirate, I just ignored them.
Likewise any games with DRM.
I don't buy much music, but the RIAA is just as bad. I get my entertainment from the internet, legally.
Now that streaming services are available, I occasionally pay a service for one month of binge watching, but that's it.
