But the basic premise of DRM is flawed and cannot be reconciled with our current rights.

I've not heard many people 'call for the DRM we want'. All I ever hear is people calling for the end of DRM! Nor have I seen a single quote from 'the content cartel' saying they want people paying over and over and over for the same thing. You seem pretty happy to put words in other people's mouths ... can you link any of this?
Don't get me wrong. I am not on the side of anyone who wants me to pay for the same content over and over again. But I see this as the same old 'requirements problem' we find so often in IT and software development projects. For lack of good requirements, crappy software gets written over and over again.
Write now only the 'content cartel' is writing requirements for tomorrow's DRM. Real people need to start letting them know what they *really* want ... and let's face it, 'no DRM at all' just ain't gonna fly unless you can guarantee every 14-year-old kid in the world will suddenly become honest and stop going nuts on the p2p networks!
