Ah, but the iSuck player's SuckIt! (TM) DRM system only plays works that
are digitally signed by a distributor who is explicitly authorized by
the iSuck Corporation (as shown by the iSuck Corp signature on said
distributor's encryption key). Authorization costs US$250,000.

Bob is an authorized distributor; his library paid the distributor fee
so that they could share Free Culture works with the iSuck-owning
public.
