As I have argued, it never can be particularly effective. It really is all about fooling people into buying protected devices and shaping our cultural behavour.

I am of the opinion that DRM is ineffective not because it can be broken, but because it has little to no effect on sales, whether or not an easy way around it exists.
IMO, DRM is a scam by DRM producing companies. It takes money from those who produce content, and provides them with no benefits. It causes problems for users of content. Its use is driven entirely by fear mongering.
