Not to mention back catalogs of films which have very small values for each
copy as everyone has seen them or they're so old no one would want to...

e.g. "Jimmy Stewart films" or "1930'es gangster movies" etc.

The truely sad thing is that reality of art is that the only art which
truly survives is that which is copied.

i.e.  with DRM lots of songs, films etc will simply "disappear"
much as say the works of Sappho etc.
