I'm all for hating on DRM, but those of you posting here saying that DRM doesn't work under any circumstance are being a bit disingenuous, I think.
Putting the ethical questions aside, if browsers allowed javascript encryption and company X has a program that "frombulates widgets" and they want to protect their code from their main competitor Y, such encryption would present a valuable obstacle, even if it may not be 100% impossible to crack.
