The way I've heard and read about this bit of history is the night
club owners started buy screwing the artists out of pay. This
continued with the record labels screwing the artists out of
royalties, then the artists screwing the labels back, who passed the
love on to the vendors, who of course passed all this wonderful stuff
on to the consumer.

Walmart is DRM free? Sure. They also edit all the
good/interesting/controversial parts out of the movies and music
they sell.
Evil store. Better to get rid of DMCA than to rely on vendors like
Walmart.
