Seriously, how expensive will this "universal" DRM be?
It's astonishing how expensive Adobe's existing DRM scheme is. $0.22 per book sold! (plus capital cost of $10,000 and yearly maintenance cost of $1,500)

$0.22 on a $0.99 ebook or even on a $1.99 ebook is a hefty percentage.


DRM: Just say no.
