It does some good
Once could argue that DVD Jon is using his fame to good use.
First, his constant cracking of each new DRM scheme points out
the futility of DRM--a company will spend a fortune on
implementing it only to find it broken within moments after its
release. Hopefully companies can learn from this about whether
its worth spending a fortune on such a DRM system.

At the very least, he's letting companies know where the flaws
are in their system that need to be patched, as Apple has often
done in response to his efforts towards iTunes DRM.
