Getting a game, movie, or digital products that I bought with my own money, and I am forced with all this crap.
Have to be online to use it.
Sometimes can't use it on other accounts or devices.
Other stuff that intrudes and causes the product to lose performance.
Some can even intrude on your privacy.

Screw this anti consumer crap. The only people who push for this pro DRM is big corporations. They treat their consumers on the same sentiment as the witch hunters during the Salem Witch Trials.
This goes back to digital copyright and how they don't care for the consumer's end of the product. I can never enjoy PC gaming because of this DRM crap.

It is shit. I downloaded the free digital copies for a few movies I bought planning to watch them at work (since the internet there goes out literally every time for hours), only to discover you need to connect to the internet to watch them so the player knows it's a legit copy. What the ever loving fuck is the point of the digital copy then?!

I have heard that if you buy movies straight-up, rather than redeeming the digital copies that come with physical copies, there's more leniency, but probably not by much.

This is why way back in the day I stopped buying my music on iTunes and switched to Amazon, where you could download the music and put it on any computer or any device you wanted. Back then, Apple's crap was DRM'd to the moon and back, AND! When my harddrive crashed and took my hundreds of dollars worth of music with it? Apple said the only way they could help me was to let me buy it all back again, at a discounted price.

Granted, things have changed since then, but it's still just as bad for movies, for whatever reason. -_-
