I'm not sure what that's supposed to prove. There are only a few big studios, and they all happen to be wrapped up in inertia and paranoia. But that's just how the dice came out, it's not because DRM provides actual value. If they wanted to perform a realistic market assessment we could be DRM-free in a snap.

The point is that 'viable' means something. Overcoming inertia and paranoia is providing actual value.

The business model is viable in terms of the studios deciding to sanction it. So not treating the studios as black boxes.
