It doesn't need to happen within a legal framework, it will happen within a technical and social one. Mobile platforms are walled gardens, that deliver DRM-crippled content. When the ability to sideload media content is quietly removed from the next version of your favorite mobile OS, how will you get your DRM-free content then?

There's literally no way to stop it without the death of mankind. What you're worried about is that we won't be able to buy a copy of the next superhero movie. Oh well. There's still plenty of free and worthwhile works of media that can never be forced to close.
