I'm speaking of software right now, not TV/BD+.
I beleive 99.99% of those who pirate will never buy a game just because they don't want to wait several days (or weeks, very rare). DRM only harasses those who don't pirate.
>> Starcraft 2 sold 75% of total copies told to date within the first month.
And who says that without the DRM it would be lower? Maybe it would be even higher! Many techy people just don't buy those new games with draconian DRMs/Spyware which require internet connection. Or they buy the game and then download NODVD/cracked.exe
