SIP is similar to an enhanced secure boot. It's not (at least not primarily) for DRM.

He might be talking about a Gatekeeper override which is available by digging into the system settings? This allows you to run insecure resigned software (like pirated software is a common use case, honestly). But you only have to do this once, it isn't some constant headache.
