There are three inherent flaws with DRM:
1. The device or the file has to have the key and at some point the the unencrypted key is in memory. Even Windows 11's much vaunted TPM can be defeated if you have physical access.

2. Eventually the image has to be on human visible screen, or sound reaching human ears. That's trivial to capture.

3. It penalises ordinary consumers but doesn't stop criminals.

The Media industry needs to abandon it, because it only benefits people selling the DRM system, or monoplist retailers. It's evil.
