Trusted computing can be used for DRM. I'm much more interested in it as a privacy enhancing technology: the fact that you can have strong guarantees about what can be done with data in the enclave is useful for a lot of applications where you have sensitive data.

(Putting aside the fact for the moment that most - if not all - trusted computing platforms have some security vulnerabilities. Obviously this is bad, but doesn't preclude their utility)
