I salute Amazon for allowing DRM. What is the case against it?
|
It comes at too steep a price. It restricts the consumer in ways that don't have anything to do with protecting the author's interests.
And Amazon isn't "allowing" anything. The publisher (whether that's an agency or an individual) determines whether the book has DRM.

Given the ridiculous ease of removing DRM from Kindle books I have to ask - who the hell cares whether or not the books come with DRM?

You
do all realize that the status quo on this can go tits up in a heartbeat though, right? We've been quite lucky in that regard for so long that I believe we've become a bit spoiled and complacent. Those who
do remove DRM should still care whether or not it exists in the first place.
