The drm.org site is all but dead:

The "Compete" site provides statistics for only US traffic on websites
so it completely misses the rest of the world. Since US domestic
digital broadcasting is something other than DRM, US traffic to
drm.org might reasonably be expected to be lower than from those parts
of the world where DRM is actively being considered.

It might be reasonable to assume that most of the US traffic to
drm.org is by shortwave listeners. SW listening is in such decline in
the US that it is also not surprising that the stats are low. However,
US visitors to drm.org for July/2008 number about 13% of the number of
US visitors towww.primetimeshortwave.com, a not insignificant
proportion.

How meaningful any of these stats might be is moot. I don't see how
you can draw your conclusion from them. Neither can I see any grounds
for thinking that DRM is growing out of its infancy.
