I think that is the reason we still have DRM. Once the general consensus is that not paying for any work in digital form is stealing (unless the authors, composers, publishers, etc. agree to give it away) there will be no need for DRM. At the moment too many people think everything should be free. Never mind that DRM is mostly ineffective and cripples legal uses, publishers feel it is better than nothing. And I don't blame the publishers, I blame the "free" crowd.
