You haven't looked into this enough. It's the application of DRM that raises prices for you. Publishers have to pay the DRM producers large sums of money to use their schemes and to continue to use their servers.
DRM does not prevent booklegging*. It only costs the publishers money and annoys customers.
*OK, this was a typo for bootlegging. But I liked it so much I left it in.
