DRM is sold to the ignorant as a "prevent piracy" measure. After all, no one likes to have something stolen from themselves. So many people believe it.
To the not-so-ignorant, DRM is about control - not piracy. Control over under what circumstances the content can be used. Control over the sale of the item (remember many years back when the RIAA tried to get a fee from every second-hand CD sold?). Control over the work forever - not for a "limited time" that is given by copyright law.
