Actually, a large part of the VLC developers find that DRM is useless,
unfair and irritating. Some of us spend some of their spare time
developing hacks and solutions to circumvent DRM schemes. Those who
don't, are usually very proud of any results in this field anyway.

Therefore I don't honestly think that any kind of DRM scheme will ever
be supported by the VLC, unless if it is for breaking it.
