I don't approve of it - but I don't avoid anything that has DRM on it. I just refuse to buy files with DRM on them.
So I'm happy to have DVDs/Blu-Rays, because my disc will not be revoked. And I don't mind the VoD system my cable company uses, because I'm renting a movie, not buying it. But I won't pay for music, video or text files that can be revoked later on, or can't be changed to work with new playback systems. This is because I don't want to be stuck with a file that I can't play/watch/read any more.
If there was an open DRM standard that couldn't be revoked then I could be tempted by that - but I can't see such a thing coming about.
Meantime, you can just click on the link underneath that warning to watch the video on YouTube, which is chock-full of DRM.
