I have a job that involves making DRM stronger.

It's certainly legal, but I'm still undecided as to whether it is moral or not.

Personally I am opposed to the use of DRM, but I enjoy the technical challenges involved.

Why do you do it? I’m sure inventing chemical weapons is a fun challenge to a skilled chemist, but if you’re morally opposed to it shouldn’t that matter more?

A moral objection to DRM is hardly on the same level as a moral objection to chemical weapons.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'm morally opposed to DRM, it's more that I find it annoying.
