I think reading a broader meaning into "premium content" is causing
confusion here. I think "premium content" would be a fine addition to
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html . It helps to read
"movies from major Hollywood studios" in place of "premium content".

The last paragraph of the fourth page of this DRM brochure
http://www.nds.com/Content_and_Service_Protection/NDS_VideoGuard_Connect_Brochure/aimed
at broadcasters interested in moving their services over IP makes the
source of the DRM requirements as plain as it gets:
"In addition, NDS technology has been approved by all the prominent
studios, including Disney, Fox, HBO, NBC Universal, Paramount, Sony and
Warner Bros."
