We keep a social contract with creators (rather with editors, actually)
just to have things to entertain or enlight us. I agree with it. But why
have it to be all of it encumbered with DRM? Just set a good price that
would make paying for the content more convenient than just sharing... and
people will pay. And we wouldn't be here discusing this matter.
