Generally Open edX doesn’t have any support for that.

You can use a third-party video hosting solution that provides the DRM features you need; for example you could host your videos on Brightcove and embed them into your courses using xblock-video.

For other content like text/images/PDFs, it’s not really possible to “protect” using a technological solution these days. Even if you disallow copying (which is a bad user experience), today people can just take a screenshot and copy the text from the screenshot as easily as from the original web page.

Generally though I would personally say that it’s not worth the time trying to implement a technological solution. If your course does get pirated, you can fairly easily get the pirated versions removed from Google so that people won’t find them. And you can focus on a business model that provides added value that can’t be pirated - your instructors, your TAs, coaching, peer discussions, certifications, etc.
