That's like locking your door (DRM) when you leave is treating everyone outside your house like a potential criminal. Not sure of analogy... but sounded good in my head while typing.
It's actually completely reversed. DRM is much more like placing a policeman in your house to watch what you do, just in case you decide to do something illegal. I.e. since DRM is present on your own computer and in your system, it's like an intruder whose purpose is to spy on you and treat you like a criminal. I doubt many would find it ethical if a police camera would be placed in their own home, yet for some reason they accept DRM as a normal practice.
See it's all a perspective and an opinion. No one is right or wrong. I'm not saying I'm pro DRM, but some people think any little bit is as bad as any DRM ever like StarForce. At one point it was redonkulous. Steam DRM, totally get it. We are trying to foster an industry so we get more content. Some things are just part of doing biz. In my world if the stuff works and doesn't get in my way... I'm ok.
I thought Snowden proved nothing is really protected.
