DRM is arguably a specific use of various generic technology ranging from whitebox cryptography to trusted computing.

I don't think remote attestation (or even more so its umbrella technology, trusted computing) is nearly as specifically targeted as DRM.

I agree that requiring remote attestation for generic web use is evil. It's way too heavy-handed an approach better reserved

I still don't think this somehow outright disqualifies the technology itself.

captcha/spambots has been a problem since USENET

Are you seriously trying to suggest copyright infringement has not been an issue over the last 30 years? Both of them are solutions to problems that we've had over the last 30 years and were created for the greater good to solve problems that developers were facing.

Tell me when DMCA law has worked in favor of small companies/developers?

DMCA is abused every. single. time.

Individual self employed photographers successfully use the DMCA to get significant payouts from large publishers and news organisations every single day.

Like literally hundreds of thousands, every day.
