Any thoughts?
Encryption-DRM doesn't appear to provide any benefit to publisher or author (see Baen, Tor, O'Reilly and soon some Simon & Schuster titles).

What makes you think that publishers will continue to fork out for DRM when they see no benefit?

The music industry also seems to show that encryption-DRM provides no benefits. All retail music is now DRM-free.
