Gatekeeping absolutely was the intention of copyright, not to provide artists with income.

    By gatekeeping I mean the use of digital methods to verify or restrict use of purchased copyright material after a sale such as Digital rights management, encryption such as CSS/AACS/HDCP, or obfuscation.

    The whole "you didn't buy a copy, you bought a license" BS undermines what copyright was supposed to be IMO.
