Good for EFF. DRM is futile.
There is NO stopping people from recording what's on their screen (with a cell phone camera among other devices).
What we've seen is:
A) The more barriers you put in front of legitimate use, the more you see illegitimate use grow.
B) The EFF is rock solid in standing up & protecting our rights & values in the modern, internet, connected age. Please help fund them.
Meaning: DRM all you want. Make it so that you can ONLY see Game of Thrones if you pay $100,000!!! Great! And, imagine how long it'd take for a copy (lower fidelity, sure) to get in the hands of a larger audience that you can't control, who doesn't like you, who you collect no $ from.
Or: Drop DRM, & go for "iTunes or Netflix" or other distribution methods that are EASY & fair. Watch your revenue boom, while you collect user stats to make your next content even more appealing & marketable.
