Good joke. That's penny change. You're looking at five times that for a single engineer writing your own DRM, let alone the additional support costs you're taking on.
And no, encryption is not "encryption". Some DRM products are wrappers which can go round anything, yes, but that tends to be slower and more CPU intensive to process than more narrowly defined,
smarter solutions.

Well gee... they sell books protected under Mobipocket, eReader, Adobe, MS Reader DRM and ALL of those are knowingly "broken".

They were not broken when they
started selling them, though, were they? This makes a difference. Look at the differences in K4PC encryption to Kindle encryption for an example of what they'll do to avoid that scenario.
