I remember somewhere in 2005 an online store owner came to vorbis or
vorbis-dev lists and requested us to get a DRM scheme on Vorbis.

Anyone may create a version of Vorbis with DRM, but would it play on
every player out there or just the player authored by the DRM creator?
 And that's where the whole DRM argument collapses.  Nobody would want
something like that, both consumers and developers.  Someone would end
up cracking the DRM'd files and make them normal Vorbis files.
