IIRC, it did have a couple consequences like Apple embedding PII into music files.. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2007/06/should-apple-embed-your-name-and-email-itms-songs https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2007/06/should-apple-embed-you... ..or going even further back, the arrest of a hacker at a Defcon convention who broke the DRM from eBooks. https://yro.slashdot.org/story/01/07/17/130226/fallout-from-def-con-ebook-hacker-arrested-by-fbi https://yro.slashdot.org/story/01/07/17/130226/fallout-from-... I can't specifically recall but I think there was a time a Stanford (?) researcher published a paper on SDMI (?) watermarks in music files as well.
