I think if a DRM application application is available,
it could be wrapped somehow to automate the process for non-geeks.
make files, install wizards, something like that.

We agree on that.

The parallel-distribution may also have some complexity in trying
to legally define what would be required for the parallel copy
of the content. Source file? A binary? Hex dump? The original
source or the modified source?
