That's the only natural evolution; for example the news sites will say:
"Why the movie industry have protection but we don't? We need HTML5 DRM in our writings, is our copyright less important than theirs? I say no sir!"
And slowly an internet where you can't use browser extensions, where you can't copy anything you read, where you depend on the existence of a company, a functional internet connection to play (just once) the content you bought, but a content that you certainly don't own.
Create sites which you can't leave or close? Easy, use drm and prevent any action that would closing the tab or give access to the url bar.
DRM is code with the intention to take full control over a device after sale. With that, any action is possible. Installing tool-bars, sending browser history, stealing information. The only protection is the letter of the law, and any hacker brave enough to reverse engineer the drm to identify what it actually do (under the threat of DMCA and jail time of course).
I wish I had your naivety; but I already sow things like a media center that counts heads and will stop the movie if the amount of people exceeds the number allowed by the purchased licence...
