DRM neither establishes nor defends the IP rights of creators: Copyright law does that.
Many people on this forum support copyright and understand copyrights need to be enforced. Most of us support shorter terms, but we still support copyright.
DRM is not copyright.
Opposing DRM is not the same as refusing to establish and defend copyright. Baen books does not use DRM, but they take active steps whenever they discover their copyrights are being infringed upon.
