It gets better. You already kind of pointed at it, but if it's human recognizable, DRMing it is basically impossible. Even if they get rid of all digital interfaces - you can't DRM an audio signal. Even without WiFi, Bluetooth or USB, even if they manage to secure the digital part perfectly, the audio signal can not be encrypted if you want the speaker to output a proper sound. Hell, even if you managed that you can put a microphone to it and record it again. Same thing, though a bit more complicated, goes for video. DRM is nothing but an inconvenience for normal people, pirates will always find their way. This might actually lead to normal people getting their stuff directly from pirates to avoid that inconvenience DRM means. I personally download my music from SoundCloud, which is free in the first place.
