Even my Bible study program is heavy into DRM. It seems to be a fact of life but some implementations are better than others.
A good implementation is not time limited (except for libraries and samples). can be migrated to follow-on devices (and supported on more than one device simultaneously) and can survive computer crashes. And in some cases it can even be sold or willed. Perhaps we could move the discussion to the best implementation and then finally to removing it in some cases.

DRM is bad, yucky, filthy and ultimate EVIL! Not only that, it practices unsafe sex with poxed, underage whores!
Be that as it may, I tend to think we're stuck with the task of tongue-kissing it in the hopes the toad will turn into a prince.
