My only hope for homomorphic encryption is that it doesn't cause a new era of invasive DRM and anti-circumvention methods.

Would you please elaborate on how you believe this might happen? I can't see how this would enable a "stronger" DRM scheme, as the video/audio/whatever would still have to be decrypted.

That's true. I stand corrected. And having just entered the term 'homomorphic encryption' into Google patents it would appear the space is not very active at all.
