I find it utterly shocking that members of the general public are so ignorant as to speak against any aspect of DRM. After all, If not for strong DRM, people could easily violate copyright restrictions. The average citizen can't be expected to act responsibly; technology must compel that conduct.
I wouldn't be surprised to see these same people posting equally absurd demands that new cars be manufactured without SOM (Speed Obedience Management). Could you imagine a society where GM, Honda or BMW sold cars that could be driven above the posted speed limit? That will never happen.
