How is allowing me to play BluRay discs, Rhapsody music and videos from Netflix harming me as a purchaser?

I don’t believe that there isn’t some software stub of DRM not active when you’re not playing protected content, sucking performance from your computer and, indirectly money from your wallet, because you had to pay them to code this. Personally I’m not willing to make that trade. I would rather break the DRM to watch content I legally own (if I gave a rat’s butt about playing those kind of media on my PC), than pay them to babysit me. It’s the principle, which I’m sure is going to sound strange, but that’s what it is.
