The trouble with DRM helmets is that they fail to prevent the #1 source of unauthorized media consumption - individual recollection of previously-consumed content (the "memory hole" that has been as of yet unclosed).
To achieve the full protection of creators' rights, it is imperative that the content industry develop no less than a neurological solution, to implement a paywall between the piracy-laden hippocampus and the rest of the digital-media-consumer brain.
