DRM is a separate unrelated thing to copyright. In some countries it's illegal to remove it even if the work is PD or CC. In other countries it's acceptable to remove DRM on copyright work as long as you don't make a copy available to anyone.
Copyright doesn't give a publisher or author the right to claim additional rights or a specifically limited licence if that is either incompatible with local law or copyright.
Nor is copyright defined the same everywhere.

Reading part of a book in public is likely "fair use" in most countries. Making an audio book, reading it in public in episodes each week, or broadcast would need a licence.
Probably my primary school teacher broke copyright by reading the entirety of her copy of Prince Caspian to us in episodes one summer term. It would probably be fair use if we'd each bought our own copy. But some countries have no official "fair use".
