oh you can't watch this video your paid for on your computer because reasons.
You need to use this crappy video player instead.
Oh you can only watch this on 3 computers and you have hit that limit.
the license for this content has been lost, you can't watch it anymore.
Compare that to the pirates life:
Click play -> watch movie.
There was actually an interesting article a while back about DRM not being about preventing piracy, but rather enforcing methods of watching (so 100% to control legitimate customers).
