Another complete agreement with pdurrant's position.

DRM doesn't stop piracy, but it does (if not removed) often lock customers into certain devices or certain software. It doesn't give any guarantee of being able to still read the content long-term. Indeed, on past experience, it seems quite likely to cause the loss of the ability to read the content on new devices within five to ten years.
