I've said this before but I think it needs repeating again;
For publishers/media-creators DRM can work very well. If gives the power to force people to repurchase all the media yet again when a format transition occurs.
For consumers, DRM ultimately will result in a lock out.
As a consumer, it's your own responsibility to make the choice of avoiding DRM if you wish to maintain perpetual uninhibited access to what you have purchased.
DRM is a useful tool for publishers that offers no upside for consumers.
DRM is not about restricting pirates. DRM is about controlling customers.
Paul.
(EDIT: Notice that most of the time these days you are buying a licence of the media, not a copy )
