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.
Your beliefs - when they are contrary to reality - don’t matter. I have ran multiple tests with multiple monitoring applications and the only time the DRM code is executed is when protected content is playing. The code isn’t even loaded into memory unless such content is playing.
In short - you are wrong.
I’m of pretty much the same view. Frankly, I don’t want a machine that supports DRM since I have no interest in encouraging the practice.
