So it's not Free OTA TV that needs this. It's the industry that wants to control Free OTA TV like cable companies do. I would have been more likely persuaded with a good faith argument along the lines of broadcasts of non-DRM content will decrease vs DRM delivery. So to keep Free OTA TV in the running, also implement DRM. That frames it as a want (by all parties) rather than a bogus technical need.
