No, the perfect solution would be to abolish DRM and none of those problems would even exist.
With computer software the industry has tried for decades now to prevent copying and exert control over what the user does with the software. Even though not even hardware dongles proved to be hacker-safe and both the music industry and the movie industry failed, the publishers have obviously learnt nothing from the past, turned back the clocks and try again to succeed where everybody else failed...
