You can try if you want to though. You can also give them away to a friend or family member if you delete your copy... etc. DRM doesn't allow any of that, but that's the real intent behind DRM regardless of cries of "protecting the authors".

DRM isn't about copy protection, it's about artificially restricting the user's rights. This article just further illustrates why restriction of those rights isn't an accident.
