But your claim was not that it was the copyright law that was the important thing. You said that DRM was necessary. I agree that some kind of copyright is a good idea (a short time like 14 years). But the statement that DRM is necessary for the copyright law to have the intended effect I strongly believe is false. In any case there is no empirical evidence to support your strong claim.
