Hey Chaos,
This isn't actually the case. All workable systems can be broken. Like with encryption in the wider sense, it doesn't become useless if its broken. It only becomes useless when the cost of breaking becomes negligible.
The Hardware locking of Windows XP or Norton is DRM really, and it was broken ages ago. But fore most people the time and knowhow cost of going onto the P2Ps and downloading countless files that don't actually work is enough to dissuade the majority from breaking the DRM.
