I'm going for the different argument with this. I've just finished my second book. I might have a thousand hours into the nonfiction beast; blood and sweat as the saying goes. There will be two versions. A print copy for about $13 and an ebook for about $7. I don't care if a buyer wants to resell his/her print copy or pass it along for friends to read (one at a time)–or let it collect dust on the shelf. What I don't want is for somebody to put the eBook out virally all over the world–for free–via email. It's my beast, and I want it DRM,d. Who ever buys it from Amazon will be able to retrieve it from their Amazon cloud for as long as they and Amazon are around. What's wrong with that? Don't wanna buy my ebook 'cause you can't email it around? That's OK with me.
As far as which DRM scheme? Both my (ebooks) will be available on Barnes and Noble and Amazon and I really don't think there is a device out there that doesn't cover those two "schemes." Buy it as a Kindle and you can put it on your phone, Kindle, Droid, or iPad. Probably all at the same time.
I can only imagine how much sweat goes into making a video game. If it wasn't for DRM protection would there be motivation to create a quality product? Am I wrong here?
