End discussion... anecdote = opinion... keep yours, I'll keep mine as I've got better things to do than waste time arguing with someone "who's right."
If it was important (or paid research) I'd carry on but I waste too much time on this forum anyway...

Sophisticated company that has a long history of economic success utilizes DRM tool, through doing so achieves particular expected economic benefit, ergo the most likely explanation is that such a sophisticated company understood the relationship between the tool and the result and wanted to achieve it.).
