I am against DRM in any form on any media for sale to the public, including eBooks, DVD, Blu-ray, software, etc.

Sharing copyrighted media is already illegal, period.

It should be way beyond the ability of some company or our legislature to cause media that we purchase not to perform how we demand that it perform, this is our country.

Putting DRM on an eBook as a method to “enforce law” is akin to making your new car have a speed limiter that won’t let the car go over 70 MPH. I mean why not, it is illegal to go over 70 MPH, right? Why not let the car manufacturers enforce law too?

All of this encryption on media that is for sale has not stopped anyone from sharing anything, all it does it prevent people from using that media in a way they want to. DRM punishes regular people and does nothing to those who share files…
