If there's a marked uptick in Mobi sales that times with the release of cracking tools for that format, maybe they'll notice that, too.
I wonder if/how they monitor actual leakage from their files to the darknet? If I were relying on DRM, I'd want to try to monitor how much of my profits were leaking out anyway. If the sales go up and the darknet content doesn't really change, I'd think a sensible publisher would say, "you know, we can cut our costs by getting rid of this DRM stuff, and our sales will probably go up even further and we won't be 'losing' any more control of content than we've lost already."
