What you kind of seem to be saying is that authors and publishers shouldn't even try to use the limited tools available to secure their rights, if there is a chance that their efforts might inconvenience some consumer somewhere.

They shouldn't be employing methods that really don't do anything but pissing off their legitimate customers, yes. The "all customers will be searched upon leaving the premises" example is a good comparison: even if it did deter shoplifting to some degree it's not something I'd be prepared to put up with. DRM is even less effective.
