Submission + - Imperical Study shows DRM encourages infringement

Hucko writes: Ars Technica has a story about a study by Cambridge law professor Patricia Akester that suggests (declares?) that DRM and its ilk does persuade citizens to infringe copyright and circumvent authors' protections. The name of the study is "Technological accommodation of conflicts between freedom of expression and DRM: the first empirical assessment" apparently does precisely what it lays claim to. I haven't been able to download the study or its distillation. Perhaps there is an Ars effect too.
