It's not equivalent. Intent matters in the law. If you attempted to deprive the public domain of your work, why should you be given the privilege of copyright protection just because you failed.

You should be entitled copyright protection for first making your work public domain, because you incurred costs in generating it and the public benefits from it. The intent is to distribute the costs of the IP to consumers, in which circumventing the DRM defeats.
