The purpose is probably to prevent sharing among friends that don't use p2p or know how to crack. I personally don't think such problem would really exist today on the scale that could justify DRMs. But there are always some business men and women on high places which are exactly the type who would do so because lack of knowledge. It is same as with Flash. Nobody likes it (except for YouTube), some even hate it, but for some very odd reason idiots who build web-sites still use it.
