The bugs are currently being worked out. Pirated copies will be useless (paperweights).

Until the first asshat figures out how to record his screen with a hack or holds his iPhone up to film the scene and upload it elsewhere. If you can see it with your eyes, you can record it and share it. No DRM exists that will prevent that. The real problem is that it only takes ONE asshat to do it and the cracked or filmed file is released into the wild for everyone else to copy and share as they did before.
The only real solutions to piracy will be cultural ones. When people get tired of their favorite television shows only making 8 episodes per season, are annoyed that 'no good movies get made anymore' and all the rest... they will eventually come to grips with the idea that you only get good content when you pay content makers to create it.
We aren't there yet, but we are closer to it than many people think. If content creators really want it to happen, they should start focusing on the youth market. Millenials will never become paying consumers.... the next generation can be trained to pay for what they consume. Disney is the most likely path to make that happen.
