I am not sure about that. I think that accepting DRM and thinking in these kind of terms can lead to very bad consequences. Child-labour is a more local problem and have no great potential for globally bad consequences.

I believe accepting DRM is just one step on the slippery slope to loosing net neutrality and so on.
