You also need to understand that it is a little more complicated to lift DRM material off its original source. I would imagine that the P2P network is awash with DRM free material, and therefore a much easier medium for piracy.
I'd suggest that anyone who has any interest in this should read the whole Ofcom report, it makes for very interesting reading.

DRM is not present in the original source, it is included at the duplication / distribution stage. After all, the studios want to make multiple copies to send to the duplicators, the duplicators also want to be able to make multiple copies. to simply not include the DRM would be the easiest step possible and remove a stage of the duplication process.
