Correct, this is what I would like it to do (but I use evince instead,
which by default does not bother users with this sillyness).
Users can still legally have rights even if they are forbidden by
license terms which are effectively void.
DRM deprives users of such rights.

I will offer an opinion about such a situation when this will actually
be proposed. Since I do not believe in following copyright as a
religious matter I cannot provide a blanket statement on this issue.

It is being argued that it has an inconvenient default and that it is
not well documented. Properly documenting the existence of this
configuration option in the error dialog would go a long way in solving
this issue.

Why do you care?

I don't like people who think they know better than me what I need.
