Apologies if I missed a post where this was already mentioned, but in
this article, the blogger says that this version of DRM is just a stop-gap to Adobe's goal to convert to an "always-on" scheme that will require the device to be connected to the internet at all times.

I was told by some members of the W3C that Adobe is planning a new online verification tool that queries a an always on internet connection. This is something that many game companies are employing to curb piracy, such as Electronic Arts. Likely, we will not see this “Always Online DRM” for another year or two. Companies need to adjust to the new higher form of encryption in the here and now.
