In the grand scheme of things, DRM as it currently exists is too pathetic to be considered much of a technological hurdle. Indeed, if DRM is such a big deal, why are we still able to decode DVDs using libdvdcss which must have been written yonks ago? If it weren't simply a case of legal manouevering, there would have been a mass recall of DVD players and new encoding would have been used. Or why is it that DRM for the two next-gen media formats has already been broken?
I don't disagree with you, but DRM is there to force you to _do_ something in order to use unlicensed media, so you can't just throw your hands up when accused and look innocent.
