Is that the only people who ACTUALLY ARE completely unaffected by DRM are the people who are ACTUALLY PIRATING. I've bought games straight-up...any game that I feel is truly ground-breaking I fork out the dough for. Crysis, Oblivion, Thief, are all examples of titles that I felt were good enough to BUY.
Ho-Hum titles, I've downloaded, and I must admit that, in the end, I end up applying "pirating" methods to my "legal" games ANYWAY.
"Please insert DVD/CD", screw that, I'll just crack it to shit.
Maybe game companies should learn from this. I don't think it really matters what kind of protection your put in-place, someone is going to find a way around it.
Look at SecuROM and the activation for Windows Vista, the latter was certainly touted as being unbreakable...but...
