Just the notion that DRM is something that should be used in general. I find the concept of DRM to be insulting towards the users.

Also this part:

> seems like there is a problem —  let’s solve it for fun and profit

It's like saying: "Police state struggles with policing measures. Let's help it for fun and profit". I hope you get the idea why this can sound offending.

I don't see anything wrong with developing a better bike lock for fun and profit. Not to build a straw-man argument but isn't that the same line of thinking?
I explained the analogy above. DRM is not like a bike lock at all.
