That is almost certainly out of the hands of Logitech.

It comes down to "you are licensed to play this on X registered
devices".

In this case, it isn't your PC that is playing it, rather a SB, which
isn't a registered device, nor is it easy to extend the usual DRM t&c
to squeezeboxes (ie, what if you have multiple SBs?  what if they're
synced?  or what if they're each playing different DRM'd material?)

If you have DRM'd itunes content, for example: can you play it on every
iPod you own, or only on a limited number of devices, including
computers?

Just say no to DRM: the restrictions on DRM'd content are far too
random to work well at all when multiple devices are involved.  Not
just for technical reasons (someone would have to get a copy of the drm
decoder that was possible to use within SBS), but also for legal reasons
on deciding what devices can play content.

It sucks, yes, but, then, DRM isn't there to make your life better,
rather it is specifically designed to limit your playback options.
