There is DRM on mobi samples, to the extent that Kindles will not allow you to annotate/highlight. Obviously if MC can open them, anything probably can (calibre viewer, other Kindles, mobipocket reader, etc.).

Topaz samples have full DRM, again with the no-annotation restriction.

The no-annotation restriction might have nothing to do with DRM per se, just a behavior enforced by Kindles when the 'sample' bit is set.
