DRM is typically sold by a third party vendor. It is typically not effective against software pirates.

You are overstating its use, however.

The Sony toolkit debacle was its own thing. In addition, that rootkit was on music CDs.

I worked for a game division of Sony at the time, and we were furious at the mothership for that incident.
