I think DRM for literature, news, or other reading material has far more serious implications than that for music, video, etc. The former is a tool to fight against opaque institutions, the latter is just entertainment.
While I see the point you are trying to make I disagree. You can't possibly think that music and video as mediums have not played their part in fighting for or against certain causes.
Do you think a right wing S African Billionaire is likely to buy the rights to the Specials' 'Free Nelson Mandela' so they can delete it from everyones iPod.

Did you have a particular right-wing SA billionaire in mind?
