Well I believe that was the original concept for DRM. So that people can't just simply post their electronic file online for anyone to grab and use for free.

Maybe I should've worded it better, I don't agree that DRM the way it is now is the solution since it's too restrictive but I believe it is important to deal with the problem DRM was developed to solve. That something is needed to prevent people from excessively sharing things like music and ebooks.
