DRM can also have entirely positive effects for the end-user. If you have all your games on Steam and your system dies ... you just install Steam and get them all back. Have a Kindle? You can manage your books from any computer. Super convenient, and most people don't care what's going on beyond that.
It's a matter of ideology, and relying on qualitative arguments of good/bad ... that just goes nowhere, and this is just a circlejerk. When it comes down to it, DRM is non-free, and that's against the ideals of free software.
