If it works, it prevents those who would be illegitimate users from being users at all. Although they didn't pay anything.... Hrm.
Has there ever been a DRM scheme that actually kept pirates from pirating something they really wanted to pirate? I can't think of one.
Nope. Because the keys are right on the media itself.
