Think of it this way, does MS include encrypted DVD playback software with their install CD, of course not but you expect SUSE or any other linux distribution to, why? Contact a company that sells DVD playback software and nag them to provide a linux version.
Actually, who actually owns the licence for such software? Is it actually the distributors of such software? Or is it the movie studios etc? If the owner is Linux hostile (perhaps encouraged by MS) they may not want to permit Linux versions, paid or otherwise.
