OK, so the intention of DRM is not to prevent piracy. By piracy I mean the copying and distributing and use of copyright material outside the given terms of the copyright. What then is DRM for?

Dont tell me how it is not effective, that is beside the point, I am talking intention. A speed limit sign does not prevent people from speeding even though the intention is to limit speed.

It is very likely I am missing something here but what?

I put locks on my doors. The intention is to protect my stuff. It causes me inconvenience and I still run the risk of getting my things stolen. Still my intention was to safeguard my stuff, not to inconvenience myself.
