Make it convenient and reasonably priced, and people will buy rather than pirate.
You cannot always compare two different industries, if drm is total waste then it would have already phased out, industry is smarter and faster than us. Another thing to ask is average price of a commodity being sold if it is below 10$ there is no point in worrying or adding overheads of DRM.
