I think this is being kind of pedantic. I don't think DRM should be banned and I don't think most people do. I just don't think it should be facilitated on the web or legally protected against tampering. It's one thing to say 'DRM should be legal', quite another to say 'DRM is a good practice'. In the end, let the consumer decide whether it's a good practice or not, aka don't touch it legally. So I'll agree with you there, certainly don't give it any protections against the consumer.
However, I can still say, as a consumer, DRM is a bad practice and I would always take a DRM-free alternative to it.
A lot of bad things are artsy and clever. The demise of DRM should be more of a consumer advocacy thing than a legal battle anyway, IMHO.
