The connection to DRM is a bit tricky to see, but I'll try to go into depth: DRM raises the bar to casual copying from "copy a file to a USB stick" to "figure out how to run bittorrent, and find a reputable pirate site that doesn't have viruses". In order to receive pirated content, you will have to pass that hurdle, or have someone in your friend network who can pass that hurdle. If none of them can, then you're blocked from pirating. If people think that isn't a hard hurdle to pass, then they just need to step outside the silicon valley echochamber, and spend more time around normal computer users.
