Well, put it this way. Suppose you buy a car and the dealer installs a device on the car that connects to some server every single time you want to start the engine to prevent the car being started by thieves. It's not taking your personal data, either. Would you agree to it?
To me, I don't want a car that goes ET phone home every time I want to drive it. What if the party in question goes out of business? What if I'm in some remote corner of the world? What if it malfunctions? One result: I'm left stranded somewhere unable to start my damned car!
And in the above example, the device is actually meant to protect my property. In the case of DRM, what does it protect? I know it does nothing good for those that pay.
