Cory Doctorow tends to be a bit ranty when it comes to DRM. He wrote a whole not-so-great novel that was a rant on the subject.

Which is not to say that DRM is peachy-keen fine and wonderful, just that he's probably not the best spokesperson for the opposition to DRM.

Established religion. If you read on the comparison is made clear.

I don't necessarily agree or disagree, but the author is comparing religion to free market capitalism, not to DRM directly.

And when capitalists start telling you to trust the invisible hand of the market, the comparison to religion becomes obvious & apt.

Edit: for those who, for some reason, think my comment unworthy: "The ‘invisible hand’ has an iron grip on America " https://fortune.com/2014/08/13/invisible-hand-american-econo...
