"Consume" is not the best word to use as you point out. Some works of art are expensive and require financing. Most movies or digital games cost a small fortune to make, for example. DRM may not be the best way for such works to be financed, but it is a popular way used by many average people today.
It is a fact that many people use DRM schemes, but that gives them no legitimacy. We are trying to convince people to reject them. We MUST try, not only because DRM denies the users long-established freedoms, but also because the wide use of DRM works against the adoption of free software generally. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
