I think a better law would be requiring labeling saying that it is DRM protected and you can only use consumables from the manufacturer. It shouldn't cause any additional cost to the manufacturers. The only harm would be the lost sales from people who don't buy it because it has DRM, which is a good thing in my opinion. It's sort of like how the law that places have to list the calories on menus now, which is a good thing.
