DRM at best makes it take more effect to access - a hurdle to entry. In this day and age it has never been easier for regular people to copy, and trying to fight that is an uphill battle in a war they aught to stop anyway.

DRM is a black box of software, doing god-knows-what. That gives them unjust power over users' computing. DRM manages "rights" by denying people's software freedoms. DRM is digital restrictions management.
