Yes, to placate clueless executives who actually believe they have any right whatsoever to colonize culture.
Moreover, DRM is literally designed to deny you the right to use your own property (i.e. the computer you bought and paid for), by extending the ludicrous concept of “intellectual” property, which is quite literally completely imagined “property”, to restricting your use of your actual property.
Why would anyone accept or agree to this kind of insane transitive ownership, where a corporation squatting on our culture can economically destroy the lives of ordinary citizens by suing them for engaging in culture?
No wonder the recording industry flocked to fascist Italy in the 1930s to establish their extremist anti-intellectual cartel.
