Give you an example of something similar, we have web monitoring software where I work. Its a pain in the neck and actually gets in the way of productivity. The ability to remove the product is avaliable on the internet and is probably within the ability of most staff. It generally doesnt get removed you know why its a serious disciplinary offence to do so.
It doesnt matter if you can get around DRM or not but if there is 1% chance you might get caught and face serious punishment ( and no being disconnected from the internet doesnt count) piracy will go down.
I get the impression that pirates think they are in the end always going to 'win' I think they are very wrong. The elite hackers sure they will get through but in the end most the masses are going to end up buying music/software in the way the producers wants them to and can make money on it
