First of all define exactly why there is a perceived need for DRM....
...is it to stop piracy....
...is it to ensure copyright relates back to the author....
...is it a mechanism whereby a user is 'locked' in....
The first 2 I agree with, the last is my only concern and that becomes an issue of 'restriction of personal rights'.
