I do not believe in unbreakable DRM. Nor does the industry. Alas, no one believes in unbreakable physical locks on doors. And still we use them. The industry just wants a DRM solution that most people would not bother to break although it is possible to break. iTunes was a success in this regard. The funny thing about it was that iTunes started to abolish DRM because those who pirate can break it anyway and most people seems to be willing to pay even if they can get the same for free on the darkweb. For me this is the point that should be pressed: sell it to people, make it easy to pay, and sell it cheap, abolish geographic barriers, and do that for a couple of years to see the result. At the same time educate people for the necessity of paying for what they really use (not for what they download). Hey, remember shareware? That was a neat idea: download it, try it, pay for it if you like it enough to continue to use it.
