DRM is only an inconvenience to the first person who downloads the media. Once he/she removes the DRM, and uploads the DRM-free media, it is no longer an issue for anyone. DRM is like the lock on your car. It only stops the honest and trustworthy, who are not the people one needs to protect the media against. Anyone who isn't technically proficient to remove the DRM themselves probably knows a teenager who is.
