No, ccpl is clear:
"Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit, or restrict any
rights arising from fair use, first sale or other limitations on the
exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other
applicable laws."

Related rights are included in "other limitations on the
exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other
applicable laws".

> "You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or  
> publicly digitally perform the Work with any technological measures

> This ("technological measures") means DRM.

I repeat:
1. CCPL licensor can use DRM
2. CCPL licensee can use DRM in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of the
 license
