Remember: scifi can dream up of horrible dystopias (Black Mirror style) and real-world entrepreneurs will go "hey, that's a neat idea!". There's a Philip Dick short story where ads are forcefully pushed into your brain (they kind of put that bit in the movie adaptation of "Minority Report", though it was another short story that had brain ads)... you can be sure that in the real world, if they could they would. If there is a theoretical way to jam your brain to prevent it from seeing DRM'ed stuff, you bet they will make it real and close the analog loophole for good.
