Which would mean they would have to invest their money in producers of 
unencumbered content, in creative people who are more interested in 
producing content worthy of being shared than they are in preventing 
sharing.  This is a good thing, right?

Equating the banning of DRM with thievery and criminality is a real 
stretch.  You talk about Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt and yet you 
yourself purvey it.  That you would try to make a government who is 
working against DRM afraid of being seen as "thieves and outlaws" says a 
lot.
