They are dropping DRM on on items that cost .99 cents. Actually less because they are dropping the price to .89 or less. I don't see them doing that with their TV shows or movies which would be a more apt analogy to the adult business.
A combo of DRM and encrytped streaming could work very well. Look, all the networks are using encrypted streaming and seem to think it's safe. Hulu is using it as well and the studios are playing ball with them.
Encrypted streaming seems to be the way to go at this stage of the game. Sure, it can be cracked but it seems only by screen capture programs. Who is going to sit and capture 100's of hours of video that has to be playing on screen just to give it away on the torrents for free. I'm sure it's a much smaller number than those who just just use a site ripper that downloads in the background.
