What DRM does do is limit what those honest people can then do with the products that they have legitimately bought. Or the other result of putting DRM on things is it makes honest people have to resort to other means that they would otherwise not have considered in order to obtain the product they want in a form that they want and then do with it what they want.

Yes, but. Putting a lock on the door increases the possibility of getting caught and deters those you would not make the effort.
I put an NRA sticker on my window not to attract those who would steal my guns but so they know they are dead meat if they attempt it.
