If you're someone building an app/service that uses licensed content, you're going to be subject to their demands put forth in the agreement. If they say you use DRM, you use DRM. You can be against DRM, but you'll have an app/service with lame content.
Yes. The demands are stupid and useless. Nonetheless, some idiot put them down and into the licensing agreement. And that makes you the idiot tasked with fulfilling them.
