Publishers wouldn't spend all that money when there is no gain...they will no longer pay for it...thus the end of DRM.

What was your point. Publishers spend about 2% for DRM or less (22cents a copy I think) If for every 22 cents they feel they can sell another book it is pretty cheap.
And what concrete
legal benefit is there in terms of the consumer. They still can't legally sell or lend their books.
