This is a good point.

Unfortunately it is still true that where the industry does not allow any DRM-free distribution of most content, no DRM boycott has occurred.
- webmaven 6y agoI'd argue that the difference was that in music there were enough DRM-free options from many artists that the industry couldn't disallow them. It's a lot easier (though not actually easy) to be a non-label independent musician than it is to be an independent filmmaker. There were some respectable efforts like the show Pioneer One, but there weren't ever enough high production value projects to make a dent in viewership.
