Even if it's not the DRM fault here there are plenty of other examples. E.g. You can't copy/backup a DVD on your computer/stick/cloud so once the DVD format is deprecated(i.e. Macs no longer have a DVD-drive) or the DVD is lost you can't play it anymore. Not to mention the convenience. The latest wonder from the DRM promoters is the HDCP: People with 4K TVs can't play 4K TV content anymore because of this new "feature"[0]. Apparently the only sane solution is to hack the HDMI cable.
