True, when we're talking about DRM being used for the purpose of restricting consumer rights. But that's really only one purpose of DRM. The blog and most of Steven's posts are talking about DRM in terms of preventing piracy. In that scenario, the encryption/lock is useless. It's exactly the "guarding your furniture from theft by your renters" example.

The less friendly the drm-removal tech is to the mass market (the more often they grow the lock, the less often the tech gets friendly), the higher they can fly the mission accomplished banner.

The drm-removal tech doesn't have anything to do with the lock though.
