I've been buying movies on disk for decades ... and I never even think of touching the DRM.

DVD's are hardly an example of piracy prevented, or DRM not circumvented. Wanting to play DVD's on Linux was one of the early incentives for breaking the DRM, and the more recent proliferation of portable devices (laptops without DVD drives, smart phones, tablets, etc) must have generated interest among at least some users in converting the movies they already own on DVD into a format that will play on those devices.
