I think DRM is more the equivalent on that annoying, impossible to open special anti-theft wrapping plastic they started putting on DVDs and CDs (at least in this part of the world). If a person buys the damn thing, they have to spend half an hour trying to open it... but if someone wants to steal it? They just grab the case with all its fancy special plastic and steal it, not one bit harder than before. Sure, opening it afterwards might be an extra effort afterwards, but it's pointless at that point.
