DRM is, for the most part, digital Prohibition. - Makes archiving unnecessarily difficult/impossible. - Micromanages legitimate use, including limiting legal usages. - Reduces or eliminates goodwill towards platforms, content distributors and content producers, e.g., it ain't cool. - Reduces sales through introducing artificial barriers to social network effects, i.e., torrenting often increases sales and popularity through lower-barrier social network effects. DRM-free fails if people don't pay for it, but this is rarely the case as the majority of people seek to be honest and support their favorite content producers to keep creating more. However, if like the RIAA and MPAA going after every single dime like corporate justice warriors, people can and will crack the DRM and share content or simply look elsewhere.
