I'm doing a lot of guessing here, I admit. This isn't something I've dealt with as a programmer. But I do know that DRM is mighty hard to crack and that removal programs for various media require a player provided by the vendor.

I would guess that some knowledge of cryptography is helpful, to recognize keys, hashes and such, to be able to find the key and know how to apply it, but
cryptanalysis--breaking encryption without knowing the key--is not needed.
