You'd make me happy if I was able to access cable TV signals I have paid for without DRM.
I think it is not quite correct to call cable scrambling DRM. DRM restricts the use of data you have a copy of. Cable scrambling prevents you from getting the data if you do not pay for the descrambler; however, as far as I know, once you do have the descrambler, and do get the data, it does not seriously impede your use of the data.
So this is more akin to buying a copy than to DRM. When I speak of abolishing DRM, it doesn't include this.
