Quite right. The issue is not how digital rights managment allows them
to keep the same rights but without the proper safeguards (as John Z,
and Jeme and a few others have pointed out) allows them capabilities
outside those rights (repudiation). 

I think Prof. Litman has the right idea. The issue here is not how to
keep what we have. the issue is now what do we need to go back to
striking a balance between the technology we have and the copyright
system. Creating a technological totalitarian state dedicated to the
preservation of intellectual property rights is one way to go happily
into extinction but not one that I would recommend.

Is 'Fair use' a 'balance' at all?
