In the same way that DVD content can be restricted from duplicating or copying to other media, tying it to the physical media permanently (not foolproof, but in the case of DVDs, good enough that most users do not try to break it).

Yes, we're talking about a DRM system, but if it is tied to the physical media, it is not going to be lost if your PC dies... you can trade them, resell them... and the producer is confident that most of their material is not being pirated. So it does have its advantages.
