this does not apply 1-1 to DRM in telegram (they removed the download option, not just added a warning), but I find it a relevant story to a broad interpretation of "DRM doesn't work"

Of course being more difficult can dissuade some non zero % of people who otherwise would have committed the terrible act of Unauthorized Copying, so you could say it works in that sense.
