Real piracy of TV, Cinema, Books, music involves use of ARC, insider copies and analogue copies.
Even a paperback can be easily made into an ebook.
Music and video is even simpler. The copy doesn't need to originate inside the studio though often does. No point in delaying DVD, BD and streaming releases. Anything streamed is trivial to copy no matter what DRM or encryption is used.
DMCA and DRM should be illegal, they immorally take rights away from consumers and have never stopped real piracy.
One example, tip of the iceberg:

Bernardini’s arrest may mark the start of the end of a mystery that has fascinated and appalled the literary world for five years, during which hundreds of unpublished manuscripts have been targeted.

They claim that in this case the books didn't appear online. A strange and hard to prove claim as all the authors mentioned have been pirated.
