When will these distribution idiots (RIAA, game companies, et al.) realize that DRM just plain doesn't work? There's no way to stop piracy of digital content, so just work with that limitation, instead of fighting an impossible battle that only punishes legitimate customers.

I can't find the quote, but I believe it was Neils Bohr, who when asked how supporters of quantum physics overcame the resistance by classical physicists, said "we didn't, we just waited for them to die." I believe the same principle applies here.
