Plucker has support for "DRM". There was a heated discussion on the mailing list about a year ago when we started thinking about it. Many people had their opinions and I think we lost quite a few users because of the feature.
The problem about using DRM in a soloution where the source code is also provided, is that it becomes incredibly trivial to remove the DRM, when you can just look at the "recipe" to undo the DRM.
Its in there, but hardly anyone uses it in Plucker for actually protecting/preventing copying of the works.
Most people who are going to use Plucker, are going to do so, because they want to share the content with others, and DRM ("Digital Restriction Management", not "Rights" management) goes against that philosophy of sharing.
