It is certainly possible that computers will be sold without optical disks and some portable ones definitely are. However, given that optical drives cost under $50 and can be connected various ways (e.g. SATA, USB) I don't think this is significant. After some number of years, this situation may change, but this will be gradual. In any event, given that CDs don't come with DRM there will always be the possibility of ripping them and copying their info to more up to date media.
I agree, DRM is evil and it only works to the extent that it is backed up by Fascist laws that make reverse engineering illegal. It turns out that you can't even pass ebooks throughout one's family. In light of the 1984 debacle, were ebooks to replace printed books then I would anticipate some future event amounting to a world-wide burning of "The Library of Alexandria". I won't buy SACDs because of their DRM.
