Hey, Elfmark, welcome, I just quoted you. I didn't want to get into the DRM debate again because its been done and done. My intervention here was to support Mr. Jordan who explained that he stopped writing because he was tired of being ripped off by pirates. The forum's response was to attack the author. Apparently the author's reason contradicted the provision in the MR creed that piracy never hurts an author and is either neutral or entirely benign.They went on to describe the author as a quitter, a whiner, a liar, etc, etc. I felt this was unfair, so I took time off from lobbying for Apple, Amazon, Google, the publishers , etc. to help him out
Anyway, I think my work is done here. I will say that yet again, you and others are misrepresenting DRM as being anti-piracy, rather than anti-casual sharing. But then, I don't want to start that up again. Good night and good luck.
