Wrong. Or rather, true for purchasing, but there can also be geo restrictions that are enforced with DRM. Believe me, what is currently being done with DRM is trivial compared to the evil that _could_ be done with it.

Baen's contracts with other sellers, including Amazon and B&N, require that their books be sold without DRM. So it wouldn't matter where it was bought.

To quote from the details on a Baen book at B&N (though Amazon has EXACTLY the same wording):

"At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management)."
