Well, it works in the same way as Microsoft's other "security" things: 
by obfuscation. That can "work" as long as you can invest a lot more on 
further obfucscation than anyone else on trying to understand. Although 
from a theoretical standpoint DRM is a real big joke. On thinking twice 
it is from any standpoint, and from most a really bad one...
