It was always my thought that the DRM watermarking is accomplished when the tracks are brought into your music library via iTunes. Which is the only way to get them from iTMS by the way. They could have the copycount set before download from the store however, which could be similarly done on the DVD.
I would imagine that the tracks could be on the DVD in a similar fashion (or possibly, just require that one connect to iTMS for downloading) The notching of the DRM, fair for most peoples use, happens as the track is pulled to the iPod, or wherever, via iTunes.
There are AAC tracks without DRM, but the tracks on the DVD will have the Fairplay DRM. If you want the convenience of using a nice syncable database, you will probably be using iTunes regardless, to hear the tracks.
