DRM has nothing to do with pirating. Piracy is just a nice excuse.

DRM is about killing the second hand market. About keeping the market segmentation between countries. About killing fair use.

It has been very succesful in all of this.

But with streaming subscription services there is no second hand market. So there it must be just for piracy?

I agree it's totally useless. Just takes one person to record the output and it's done.
