Actually, it's simpler than that. The value of the IP "protected" is simply percieved as lower by consumers. Hence, less people are willing to pay for content with a lower value.
Removing DRM raises the value of the content to the end user, and thus raises sales. Every time there are attacks on the value of their own content (via assaults on consumer rights) by big music, etc., they lose customers.
It is, and always has been, issues of value and convenience for the vast majority of people.
