DRM is allegedly "copy protection", but in reality is absolute control over how you access content. Want to stream a movie on the wrong computer/browser? Fuck you.
Want to browse a website without 100 trackers injected to make sure everyone who might want to knows your entire browsing history? Sucks to be you. Want to block ads because there isn't an (web) ad platform out there that does the due diligence to avoid providing a substantial vector for malware? Nah. Need help from accessibility tools that Google hasn't white listed? Maybe just don't be disabled.
Hopefully I wouldn't swear if you were actually 5.
