A comment on Leaping Brain's "Virtually Uncrackable" DRM is just an XOR with "RANDOM_STRING". Parent comment
Someone might be inside the house when they break in and that person might be armed.
Someone might see them opening the door with a crowbar and either report them or stop them.
They may be recorded on CCTV en-route to my house , or stopped the police and have to explain why they were carrying a crowbar late at night.
Even if they are not caught in the act, the incident will almost certainly be reported to the police afterwards.
None of these risks really exist in terms of breaking DRM.
If someone could break your house lock simply by tapping a button on their smartphone then I would suggest that locking your house is pointless.
