I don't think it would be that difficult to apply a generated password to open the zip/rar, or scramble the images up enough to make them unreadable. Topaz is also based around images, and those have DRM.

I don't have any at hand to try, but if you open a DRM infected epub with Winzip/rar, can you extract the cover image from it?
