I'm curious - where, exactly, do you see room for, uh, nuance? I can think of some extremely limited circumstances in which DRM may make sense. None of those apply to general-purpose computers in our homes, pockets or most businesses. As BoingBoing (certainly annoying in a number of ways) is a fairly typical blog format - mostly reacting to news - it seems inevitable that mentions of DRM are going to be about general-use DRM for, e.g., music, movies, etc., they aren't covering the extremely limited circumstances in which DRM makes sense (classified information, extremely locked-down corporate secrets, a couple others[1]), and precisely none of those stop copyright infringement, add value to the content or make paying customers happier. So it seems to me that what you see as knee-jerk is actually just the reaction of a person knowledgable on the topic to a stupid idea.
