The reason for implementing DRM is to kill DRM, somehow..I think this is just post-hoc justification for the bad decision of compromising their core ideals for the sake of market share.

When sites start to require the DRM plugin to the extent that javascript is required today it will theoretically be a problem. Realistically, all DRM that is sufficiently a pain in the ass is cracked. It's a balance of powers. Be annoying enough to attract the human time and labor of the crackers and you will be cracked.
