I disagree. If DRM is not cracked publishers are going to have no incentive to stop using it. DRM, if it works, is an excellent way for publishers to extract more money from content. If DRM worked, all publishers would use it. It's only because DRM is regularly cracked that publishers eventually realize that DRM doesn't work and stop using it. Just look at the trajectory the music industry followed.
