Not least of which is the term "piracy." Violation of copyright is still (thank God) a civil violation. Real piracy still exists and is endemic in places like the South China Sea, and off the coast of Somalia. Calling a copyright violation "theft" or "piracy" devalues real crimes.
Finally, the music industry is realizing that DRM is useless and alienates customers. Will the movie and book publishers be far behind?
