You have a slightly rose-colored vision of the intent of DRM, I think. DRM doesn't prevent illegal sharing AT ALL. It only restricts honest consumers willing to keep the DRM intact to a particular device or set of devices. Why would a hardware vendor like Sony wish to restrict purchased content to their device? Hmmm. I can think of a reason that has nothing to do with piracy.
You're still thinking in terms of "stopping piracy". Sorry, but since that's impossible, it isn't what I'm trying to address. I'm talking about a way of ensuring secure transations, protecting my own rights to my purchases, and giving publishers and vendors a reasonable degree of protection.
The system that has worked for the software industry is a good model, I think.
