Because I see DRMd files as downloaded (a "service" provided for a work "that has been modified by the client" -> no requirement). If anything, this forbids them to disallow you to access your already bought DRMd songs, but allows them to prevent you buying any new DRMd song. (Stuff gets more weirder when you think that a DRM might be implemented as a quick ping to an online server every time you try to play a "protected" material... god save us).

Clearly, this last clause is designed to help prevent cheaters from entering a multiplayer network (or stuff like that), but I see no difference between that and preventing freeloaders from entering a paid content network.
