I firmly believe that anti-competitive behavior is a crime. I also believe that in due time legislation will wake up to the fact that DRM is effectively just a tool of anti-competitive behavior (though sadly this has not happened yet, although, some people in France thought so). I think anti-user oriented technology are harmful to society, users and developers. And I think it should be a crime to subvert society with anti-societal technology. This will take a bit longer than toppling DRM, but apparently some people in Germany have woken up to the harmful uses of technology to society and started to enforce laws to limit that impact (just ask Facebook). But this are the early days of society waking up, and the first feeble attempts at grappling with the problems.
