I'd bet that 90% of the population doesn't know what the heck DRM is. We'd better be damn sure to educate the masses or the cartels will do it for us - by smearing the savvy.
Or, paraphrasing Sony, most users don't know what a rootkit is, so why should they care?
I'd be curious to see exactly what effect DRM has had on illegal file sharing. Are the people who rip the CDs and put the tracks up for download really curbed by the DRM? In my opinion, DRM only hurts legitimate customers while doing very little to curb illegal distribution of the material.
