Ehem... care to elaborate on this? Are you saying only DRM'ed content is "pirated"? Or are you defining "pirating" as only applying to DRM'ed content?

I remember snail-mailing VHS videos and copying them for friends, ditto for music, just to name an obvious example. This was a problem, but impossible to stop, for the Content Cartel. DRM makes it harder to copy this kind of content, but I don't see the principal difference between pirating DRM'ed content and copying copyrighted works. If they save enough money / hassle, people _will_ copy copyrighted works, DRM or non-DRM.
