That's not really what DRM IMHO -- sure it says that on the tin... Once the video or game is cracked once, the DRM is done. It just provides hurdles and extra barriers for the first person. Once somebody finds a "hack" method that works, they can clone and resell it up until their greed belies their customer's wishes of being undetected due to small player pool using the hack. And yes, hacks are "rootkits". It's kind of funny how they work. Some of them work at the memory level, or packet level. They require you to disable anti-virus, all firewalls, etc. The only incentive for them not to hack the user is a recurring subscription cost that's often more expensive than the game itself (leading to rage hacks where they are known to detected but the delay in detection-ban lets the user play still and farm RMT items).
