A system with more plusses than minuses, but no security, gets taken advantage of. That's why they need some security, to prevent widespread theft. (Try having absolutely no security in a supermarket, and see how much product you'll lose.)
The system with more plusses than minuses provides the incentive to accept DRM, which also allows a less obtrusive DRM to be used and still be effective. So a system with enough plusses to outweigh the minuses (including the DRM minus) can work.
