Quoting Greg London <email AT greglondon.com>:

A CC license would authorize you to circumvent any DRM that
restricts the rights to that particular CC work.

But can it? The CC work's author is not the same person as the DRM system's
author. Can the CC work's author give permission to circumvent a DRM system
that they themselves are not the author of?
