No, it's like making money that's impossible to counterfeit.

Yes, it's really trivial to do that. What's hard is making money that 
only one organization (i.e., the central bank) can counterfeit.

Making data that you can't decrypt is easy these days. Making data that 
you can only decrypt in certain ways for certain purposes is hard.

Of course, it's still copyable. But the point of DRM is to make copying 
useless, not impossible.

Guns are easy to make. :-)
