DRM has it's place, the problem is the creation of laws that make breaking DRM schemes a crime. Businesses will always be using some form of DRM to manage their customers. Customers who don't want this impediment will take their business elsewhere. If all the businesses band together and cram DRM down your throat, more power to them! It's similar to a union getting workers together to bargain collectively. The problem arises when DRM harnesses the police power of the state to put you in jail or litigate you out of existence. Legislation to make this possible raises issues of totalitarianism and corrupt legislators should be watched avidly and their bills killed before they can passthem (make sure you look at the second comment after the article linked).
