I agree with the *stated* purpose of DRM, but that's not what it has been used for so far, and that's not what the law says, as far as I understand it. As an example, under the DMCA, it is illegal for somebody to watch a DVD on your computer if the software you use does not license the decryption software. This is particularly noticeable for people using the Linux Operating System, since, as far as I have seen, there is no legal software for decoding DVDs. A group got together and tried to get that added as an exception to the DMCA, and was unsuccessful.
