Are you insulted by any business that has video cameras? Metal detectors? Security personnel?
Are there any measures of protecting one's business from theft that you find acceptable?
To be honest I'm not a huge fan of DRM either but I don't believe it's automatically insulting for people to want to protect themselves from very real threats, even if there are some negative effects for the good samaritans. That's just the nature of the world we live in.

I'd surely be, if that business would have any business putting said cameras in my home, like DRM is deployed to police users on their computers and OS they are using - i.e. their private digital space.
That's the overreaching part in DRM being an overreaching preemptive policing. People get the concept of overstepping physical privacy for preemptive policing being unacceptable, so it's the same idea for the digital one.
