Sort of. Most DRM implementations go way beyond what copyright intended. The main use of DRM doesn't really have anything to do with protecting the author's/publisher's rights, but more to do with restricting/controlling access. It's actually an attempt to remove what have previously been consumer's rights. I guess you could think of that as an "evolution", but it's more like a "perversion" of copyright.
