Some DRM is fine (ie Steam) as although on first load you need an internet connection, after that you can set the program to offline mode.
But limited installs and the requirement to always be online just punishes the legitimate paying customer as most pirates find the way around the DRM protection anyway.
I think having CD Keys is a fair form of protection and then having an online check that runs once is fair enough and I can just about cope with Steam, but anything else is just a waste of time.
