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.

A lock on your door is only a minor inconvenience to someone who wants to gain entry, and they will probably just stick a brick through a back window where they will not be seen anyway and any extra delay the lock may cause them is irrelevant.
DRM does not alert the authorities when it has been broken, which your house may well do if someone breaks in and you have the alarm on. It does not prevent dishonest people from doing what they wish, as they will most likely have sourced the product un-DRM'ed from somewhere else anyway. All it does is prevent the honest people who have spent their money to buy something from what they can do with what they have bought, and make them
criminals if they then break the DRM to be able to then do what they want.
DRM is of no consequence to people who pirate as they will have no need to encounter it. It will turn otherwise honest people into pirates though once they get sufficiently annoyed with the limitations that it places on them.
