BTW... there are proponents of DRM? Other than the copyright cartel? |
So did Embiid. I had a bunch of stuff I'd purchased from there. Including their entire Liad/Korval catalog. Had to repurchase everything when they went down. They did everything right. Notified everybody, instructed how to backup everything, they even kept the servers up for months after they shutdown. Nothing is more obsolete than a DRM system that doesn't support current software or any reader at all. I can still read them on my Pilot, but I've moved on. As lessons go, it wasn't that expensive. Thank Baen.
I'll stumble on and fill in the missing pieces someday.
