While that is essentially what the "contract" says when you purchase something that is DRMed, contract law should not recognized a unilateral change to a contract as being valid.
DRM should have been ruled invalid years ago, but our courts are no better than our vendors.

Contracts are subsidiary to any local laws. Contracts themselves are not law. Contract Law is the civil law surrounding suing people that break your contract. A "retail" point of sale contract can be the most easily invalid. Business to Business contracts are more easily enforced as there is usually due diligence, lawyer's advice and explicit signing. Sometime B2B contracts are invalid too.
Unilateral changes are hardly ever valid.
