I thought I would revive this thread based on some recent news. The truth about DRM is that it only raises the bar. At some point, content must be decrypted for viewing. At this stage in the process, both the decryption key and the content itself are subject to attack in memory. Once 1 successful copy of the decrypted content is made, you have defeated the entire DRM scheme. Having administrative rights over an OS allows you to access the most sensitive components of the OS, the kernel and memory. For DRM to truly work, you need to change this paradigm or create tamper-resistant/proof hardware dedicated to the task.
