The self evident fact that a copy without DRM is superior to a copy with DRM in terms of functionality and long term use. Therefore the existence of DRM encourages piracy by providing a motivation to remove the artificial restrictions imposed by it.

Now do note that I am not claiming that if there was no DRM there would be no piracy, but I am claiming that if there was no DRM there would be less piracy.
