With DVDs, there might be an issue with you not being able to view a DVD you bought on a trip somewhere in your DVD player. You certainly don't want that kind of a behaviour. On the other hand, okular's only forbidding you to copy some text from the pdf when it's marked as such. That's way different from not being able to view the pdf at all. So comparing these two isn't a good analogy.

PDF flags can also prevent PDFs from being printed, which is perhaps more analagous (many PDFs can't be fully used without being printed out).
Evince and others readers used to honor those flags but have been fixed to ignore them. I wonder what Okular does?
