DRM system are evil in any way you look at it.

Originally, copyright was a conceived as a temporary (50yrs) monopoly.
The protection period has in recent years been prolonged in many years
to at least 70 years.

When you add DRM into the picture, the monopoly will effectively
*FOREVER*, because there is unlikely going to be someone around
to remove the DRM protection after that time has passed, and
it may also easily happen that the data format is not supported
that long -- and converting the data to a newer format is what
DRM is made to prevent among lots of other things...
