Once again, and this story is yet another example, poorly implemented DRM frustrates and alienates legitimate users, and doesn't do anything to stop a determined pirate who will almost always find a way to overcome the DRM.
The best DRM I've ever experienced is Steam, it takes away your ability to resell games, but gives you quite a lot of features in return. In fact until it was pointed out to me on HN some time ago, I didn't even notice that it was a form of DRM because it never gets in my way.
