I get what you mean about the principle of it all and clearly you feel very strongly about it. I've been buying protected music for years so I guess I'm just used to it.
Naturally it would be better to have no limitations but I think the important point is that people should be made aware of what they are buying into and what exactly the limitations are. If they are still happy to buy them with this knowledge, fine.
I agree DRM does nothing to stop piracy. To stop piracy then prices of films, music, ebooks etc need to be lowered considerably. The majority of people wouldn't be bothered with piracy if they could get these items dirt cheap in the first place.
