Essentially the problem is that it's only DRM precisely because the
licensor doesn't allow that freedom (i.e. if you do, it's only
"encryption"; not protected by the DMCA; and not a subject of these
license terms).
So, indeed, all the platform-owner apparently has to do is say "Okay, my
DRM isn't a DRM anymore", and everything is sunshine and butterflies (no
license changes required).
But they're not going to do that, so it's all kind of moot.
Cheers,
Terry
