Agreed.

Looks like they know they cannot offer a video platform without providing DRM, because the media industry demands it, and they also know that trying to implement unbreakable DRM is futile. Therefore, they just need to implement the minimum needed to convince the media suppliers that their content is really DRM'd.

Yeah I think this is it. LeapingBrain has to show the media industry that they have DRM, but they don't actually need the DRM to be good or effective. Its just something they have to do. Why faff about putting lots of effort into it?
