Want to play some DRM-ed stuff legally? Fine, comply with X, Y and Z and we'll grant you a license. Don't want to comply? Too bad, forgot your license. The DRM get cracked and you produce something that play the media without complying? We'll sue the shit out of you.
Users aren't going to care, they'll just use something to remove the DRM or download a pirated version. A (big?) hardware/software producer can't do that.
