Exactly this. As a result I've declined to put any DRM on any of the formats my novel is published in (if there's a copy out there with DRM on, the site was sold from did it without my knowledge or permission. I was really pissed off to find out that I couldn't even take a screenshot from a move I bought (not rented - bought outright) from iMovie. Next time if it's available on the torrents that's where I'll go. In the end I photographed the screen with my iPhone, after even SnapzPro gave me a blank black rectangle. my problem with DRM isn't that I am concerned about information that wants to be free, but that it prevents me from using content as if I owned it
