This can be useful in many contexts, broader than just encrypted media, such as creativecommons document, ways of paying an artist through donations, etc. etc.

And there are candidates for such information, for example:
 ODRL [1]
 MPEG-21 Part5/6 [2]

Agree. The entire content management value chain must be considered (of which, the enforcement mechanism is only just one part) [3]

More recent examples of such scenarios can be found on the IPTC web site [4].
These use cases address rights-views for distributed content to editors at newspapers and broadcasters.
