Leaping Brain's "Virtually Uncrackable" DRM is just an XOR with "RANDOM_STRING"

But there is a big difference. If someone breaks a lock they get into your house, but if someone breaks DRM, DRM-less copies of that movie will be on the pirate bay within a day. Then users copy the DRM-less copies willy-nilly.

Directly controlling the distribution of digital artifacts is nearly impossible.

What would you say the ratio is, of all the data the NSA has vs. all the data WikiLeaks has published?

If you want to expand DRM to mean "all information security, anytime, anywhere", then you can coerce truth out of your statement.

But such a definition of DRM is pointless and tries to brush over the fact that actual DRM implementations (as in copy-protection schemes used by Amazon, iTunes, Bluray, etc.) are worthless.

Do note that he said nearly impossible...
