>DRM does not prevent copying

Are you trying to be pedantic? Technically the MMU prevents the copying. That is just an implementation detail. To content creators the distinction isn't important.

>DRM has never worked.

The barriers have seriously increased over time. Now you have to dump or buy a L1 key to decrypt content. Devices store the key securely which means that you either need to find a hardware vulnerability to leak the key or have a man on the inside to steal keyboxes. If you get caught your key / device will get blacklisted. With each year the price to break the DRM will increase.
