With a DVD (not blu-ray), I can use that DVD on any DVD player in the USA. I cannot take a Mobipocket file with DRM and use it on any Gen3 or Computer I want if the PID is not in the file. This is a lot more restrictive.
The thing is, the people who pirate eBooks can already remove some of the DRM. So the only ones DRM can hurt are the people trying to be legal. Let's say the shop you bought your eBooks from has closed down, you cannot redownload if you need to update due to a new computer or new PID.
