It's interesting, the same thing drives people to piracy of other media too. Just yesterday I was discussing with a family member who just bought a Blu-Ray movie and then got the 1080p torrent rather than messing around with watching the actual disk. This way he can put it up on his Mac's 30" display which would never happen with the actual DRMed disc he bought.
I nearly came to that myself when I went to watch a Blu-Ray at my parents house and their playstation refused (or was unabled) to play it until we'd updated the system software which took 1/2 an hour. Grrrr...
Media companies need to learn that the more they push consumer unfriendly DRM, the more consumers stop feeling guilty about pirating stuff. Just from my small anecdotal sample size of people that I know, approximately 100% have no moral/ethical qualms about pirating something they already own on some other media.
