DRM is *never* the answer. All it does is piss off and restrict legitimate buyers. And it doesn't stop pirating. For instance, if it didn't let you extract images, there's nothing keeping me from taking a screenshot.

This. DRM increases production costs. Increased production costs increase Price. Increased Price leads to piracy. And to combat that piracy, Increased amounts of DRM are used.... And so on and so forth.
