Every DRM site should cause user pain in the ass. This will really helps to get that idea to every user: drm === 'no, i don't want to do it again'.

Most users will just interpret it as “Firefox == pain; better to finally choose between Chrome and MS IE”. They don't know and they don't want to know what the DRM is but they will know that it does not hurt Chrome, MS IE, Safari or even Opera, but that does hurt Firefox for some reason. Apparently Firefox guys are just don't know what they are doing if they are the only ones who could not make experience painless.
