Pretty much every single paper and research repeats the fact that DRM is completely ineffective and has practically no effect on piracy or revenue loss. It loses revenue by itself by inconveniencing paying customers (lowering sales), restricting addressable market (by limiting purchases to compatible DRM leaden hardware) and demanding R&D costs. Of course, facts rarely challenge belief when it comes to business owners - just see the RTO push.
