Nah, not scary. Aggravating.
There will always be a way around it for those who really want one. DVDs were supposed to be unhackable. Then Bluray was unhackable. Then Amazon's DRM was unhackable. The list goes on.
The vast majority of DRM-breakers don't want to screw over the file creator and spread the files for free. We just want to use the book/song/movie/game we just paid for as we want to use it, without being constrained by how the copyright holder thinks we should use it. Especially since most copy-right holders seem to be luddites who own a smartphone only because their employer forced them to, and the only app they ever use is the text messaging. The thought of multiple tablets, or more than one computer per household, just does not exist in their world.
Why should they be allowed to dictate how I read my book, once I've paid for the right to read it? Legislation in this area was outdated before Napster died, and hasn't changed since. That's a huge part of the problem.
