If you sit collecting proof for the industry, you will go bankrupt. Very few people I know give a damn about rewarding someone for their work. Windows 7 was retailing for $30 for students and many students preferred to pirate that too.
Claiming that people take stuff like "the amount of DRM" and "how it affects usability" seriously is just bullshit. No one other than the average jobless nerd engages in that kind of analysis for something that solely provides entertainment.
DRM is here to stay. Warez are more appealing to users because unlike cheap Chinese knockoffs of shiny iToys that won't work, pirated software gets you the real finished product for no cost. Is it so hard for you to understand that people don't see any reason to pay if it can be had for $0?
