I think the idea is to keep the "average person" from copying or doing something "bad".
It is getting easier and easier for the average consumer to do things that used to be reserved for the enthusiast community. Especially HTPCs, which are becoming a more common appliance in homes.
It keeps their revenue stream intact, or at least thats their view on it. They seem convinced that everyone will pirate things if they don't keep it under lock and key.
Thing is. Sins of a Solar Empire sold damn good, and it has NO DRM whatsoever. Nothing prevents you from copying, ripping or installing it on any computer you want, or even pirating it.
I personally didn't like it but it's a step in the right direction.
