If this were true, surely we would already see copyleft and creative commons content replacing TV programs and movies, since we've been in the DRM world for so long already. Yet we don't see those things. Why?
* People who really really care and don't mind spending the money have cable or go to the movies or buy Bluray disks
* Many others use Netflix, Amazon and iTunes, which all use DRM for their video content
* For other cases not covered, people either bootleg or just wait till the disc comes out
Free content wonks have been making this same argument for years, and it has yet to come true, so I fail to see why you'd expect it now.
