You reply as if the only possible utility from a DRM system was
preventing content ending up on a darknet. Clearly, DRM doesn't have
utility on that point, since even content that's legitimately only
available with DRM ends up on darknets all the time.

My point was there there's utility of different kind and the other
kind of utility is there even if the DRM is broken as long as it
retain the legal appearance of constituting something that triggers
anti-circumvention law.
