Furthermore, of course, even if the DRM vendors were trying to protect fair use rights and the like, they couldn't. It is impossible to build DRM that constrains users in one country to obey that country's laws without constraining users in other countries more than their law allows, and some countries have laws that vary dependent on your intent when copying, or even on your profession. There's no way that any software could verify that.
