I am afraid that you don't realize the efforts I have made not to directly vilify anyone in particular in this thread, or even to state my objections to DRM breaking as strongly as I might.
Just as I said to
teh603, that there was only a slight brush of air from what she supposed was a "hammer." That was intentional. I don't want to hurt people, even if they have hurt me.
But on the other hand you speak of "emotional investment." Don't you think that I have an emotional investment in some of the books that have, by my reasoning, been purloined from me, and then bragged about by the people that did it.
What many here don't realize is that digital books, electronic readers, electronic copies of books at libraries are all made possible by DRM. No DRM, then none of that would exist.
Now would piracy exist? Yes it would, but that doesn't excuse the DRM stripping piracy.
