Without DRM *anyone* could fill them. With it only people willing to learn how to remove it can, which is a far smaller group (not because it is hard, but simply because people just cannot be bothered).

And DRM is not = DRM. To take the in this apsect more evolved game industry - there are games which are available at the day of commercial release. And then there are (major, top10) games which take literary *months* to get cracked.
Sorry maybe I am dense but what does "And DRM is not = DRM" mean? Isn't that like saying "And 2 is not = 2"? Honest question.
