I think Lotus Notes is overreaching, but that doesn't make it prone to be malware.

Why not? Untrusted code running on your computer is a clear security risk. And you still didn't explain why DRM should be trusted, when it doesn't trust you.

If I had to trust all the code running on my computer, I would have no computer.

It's the question of the level of trust. Some code is trusted enough to run it. DRM is never trusted enough to run it (IMHO). You seem to be saying that since there is always risk, one shouldn't care about anything at all.
