Hi Louie, Yes you are correct. Think of it this way, why do we lock our cars? The regular run-of-the-mill thief will be stopped by a locked door but a professional, if I can call them that, can get in, shut off the alarm, and take the car in a matter of seconds. So, then why do we have DRM you ask? Two reasons come to mind, the artists and record label people made it a condition of the digital sales process and secondly, because then us honest people will actually purchase our music, movies and other media content.
