In theory I don't have a problem with DRM if it was "perfect" (worked everywhere, didn't suffer all the problems with current systems) but I just don't see that happening since the incentive to stop at "well it's good enough and it works on 95% of our customers machines" is always there.
I also don't really like blackboxes I can't at least theoretically look at the code for if I want to, I don't like it with the Intel manaement engines (and AMD) etc either but that is a trade off I have to make if I want to run new hardware, compromising my security so I can watch a movie is a lot less enticing.

This is the kind of future I fear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noir_(novel) (and if anyone is wondering my username isn't a co-incidence).
