A lot of people here do say that DRM is intrinsically evil. Where do you think the OP got that language? At least one person has said that he hates DRM so much that he opposes ebook library lending (which needs DRM.)

There's an old motto - "The customer's always right!"
A more modern rewording is - "To be successful, you have to please your customer."
So explain to me, why does DRM "please the customer"? What advantage does it offer
to the customer? How does it improve the current and future experience of the customer?
These are fair questions to ask....
