DRM gave people a reason to subvert protections, it went too far, taking away the element of random access that was enjoyed since.... I think ever since the printing press made personal edification available to the unwashed masses.
DRM took that away and said you will consume on terms that make money above and beyond the original sale. All that DRM has done is make it difficult for normal people to consume, and created an aversion to the tech as most people are keenly aware of the loss of autonomous access to something.
