Yep. Also, eliminating the second hand market was a nice benefit. As you say, the real purpose of DRM is to remove fair use and first sale rights, not prevent copyright infringement (which it is incapable of). "Piracy" is just the red herring that they use in order to sucker the public into accepting it.
