I could see it in court:

You stored it permanently!
No, I didn't, come back in 50 years, you'll see it's no longer readable...

Yes, like author's or authors's children that want to get payed for something produced 50 years ago or more. They definitely want to get paid for nothing.

I honestly can't tell whether that's irony or not.

GOOGLE SHOWS WHY DRM is evil:
http://www.last100.com/2007/08/13/go...y-drm-is-evil/

I like comments

If hardware includeas DRM (not complies with user that is), it must be considered defective hardware. (Isaac Asimov)

DRM is defective.

DRM conflicts with LAW 2.
By violating copyrights my computer/robot does not cause injury, harm or death. (In a physical sense)

So if I tell my Robot/computer, to violate copyright it must do so. By doing so, the computer helps me completing my task. Not causing injury to anyone.

Maybe I might even need to violate a copyright to save a life, maybe my own.

This is fair. Since computers/robots are for everyone.

If my computer does not do as told, it is defective.

DRM hardware is defective hardware. (So should be returned to the shop for being defective)
