"DRM and obfuscation only work to waste a week or two of the time of the person taking it apart."
Not only that, it also drastically decreases the amount of people in the world capable of reverse engineering your code.
It also decreases the amount of people willing to. In the end, security is a game of effort vs gain.
More effort -> might not be worth the gain.
Also - a lot of these techniques are used by malware to evade anti viruses and static code analysis.

But with software and electronic media, only one person needs to care/be smart enough for everyone to reap the benefits.
