That's a pretty lame approach considering that Apple hides theirs.

It's going to be trivial to track down where you're hiding it for
anybody who's even slightly familiar with the tools that OS X has to
offer. And once one person knows where it's kept, everybody knows
where it's kept. The only way you're going to be able to make it so
that nobody finds out where your DRM files are kept is if your product
is so unpopular that nobody cares to look. Stick them somewhere that
works, and don't bother trying to hide them.
