DRM is a waste of time and effort and doesn't make any progress in trying to protect digital media from piracy. It only ends up hurting the average user. It also limits the ownership of the digital media and devalues it, up to the point where in a few years time your rightfully bought media possibly won't 'work' anymore. Compare that to vinyl records which still work now, decades after they were replaced. It turns digital media purchases into rentals.
