So what is the problem with parallel distribution if anyone can apply
the DRM? But no DRM distribution if only restricted someones can
apply the DRM?

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
