Yes, sure... in a "perfect" world...
BTW: Seems to me DRM works well with DVD/BlueRay and technically this is just digital content too...
But I think the difference is that a disc is an object (which has a box/printed cover) and you need it + a player to see the movie - meaning most people see it as the DISC and not the digital content.
With all other digital media not provided on a disc or something similar it's just the digital content which you need to copy or install on some device. Most people see digital content not as a "real" object and therefor refuse to pay (that much) for it.
