Is this the solution, or part of it, to Torrent sites?

We all move over to DRM.

The one thing Torrent sites need is ready prepared content. So we all move over to DRM and cut off the supply of content. They will need to buy content to keep going. Can't steal ours if it's not available. Would this work?

Will billing companies come together and refuse to bill for site giving out non DRM?

Will sponsors take the short term loss for the long term future?

Will affiliates only send traffic to sites that only have DRM content?

Probably the answer is no, no and no. Which shows what the long term view of this industry is.
