You are missing my point - I agree entirely. Streaming services offer a (mostly) better experience than BitTorrent - but only when they are supported by the device you want, and the DRM doesn't get in the way.

My point was that DRM doesn't stop anyone torrenting the content - it only takes one person to break it, which will happen. It does mean some people won't be able to watch the content legally, which will push them away from the legal option.

The only thing DRM really stops is the "let me give you a copy" friend-to-friend copying, which is the equivalent of sharing a VHS copy back in the day. Is stopping that really worth pushing people away from your legal option?
