Compared to the hundreds of millions of general purpose PCs available
in the rest of the world alone, yes it is.
And the PSP is not positioned as a media player. Sony's mistake, but
there you are. The better example is the iPod, which can be handled
more effectively by not allowing DRM distribution but giving a
special exception for rendering works inaccessible on devices they
cannot be removed on (an "iPod exception").
That would be more "pragmatic"...
