I think that's the best starting point for the drm argument.
On the flip side.
What are the benefits of non drm?
Actual real benefits. What does non drm support? What does it mean?
Now as a friend of mine would say: go think, that's why god gave you a brain.

You mean like the kind of DRM music I have to pay to download, and then it won't work burnt onto a CD in my cars MP3 head unit? Or do you mean the kind that doesn't work in my MP3 player. Or the kind that doesn't work when it's uploaded to my phone.
Or do you mean Sony installing rootkits on your computer? That could be exploited to do God only knows what?
The beauty of digital music is it's versatility - it can be used in all sorts of devices and places. DRM does not deliver on it's promises.
