You can't stop pirates. DRM doesn't work.
Industrial pirates even chop off the spine of a paper book and bulk feed with autosheet feed and sometimes add an un-proofed OCR layer.
For digital content it's possible to make a copy without DRM without removing DRM! Dark room, big screen, HD camera and timer to auto increment page and take photo. Even been done with touch screens and lego actuator. HD movies are even simpler. All streaming is easily copied.
DRM is more about Corporate ego and controlling customers (forcing multiple format purchases etc). It has no measurable impact on piracy.
