The money that their employer gives them?
How is it weak? And why do you ignore the other thing i wrote about the better product?

Slower software because of DRM is an issue for, I estimate, perhaps 1 % of the software that is pirated on a regular basis. If even that.
The few seconds of a screen you “have to wait through”, no, I do not think that justifies not paying for an entire movie.

You estimate wrong.
