As for your father's story, I hate that happened to him. That really sucks, but if there was DRM on that mold... it would not have stopped anyone from doing what they did. DRM is not effective. All it does its make the people that way to stay in legal channels have a harder time of it. It makes the pirating path the easier choice.

Bottom line, IMO, DRM ENCOURAGES piracy.

But I do not want to come across as attacking you. I think it was very brave of you to stand up for the minority view on an internet forum. I highly respect that courage you showed.

Thanks for the moral support. How 'bout we meet at the pub and I buy you a beer?

I AM glad I took the other side of this argument. Am I right about the issue? Shoot, I dunno. I'm old enough to realize being right 51% of the time is about all we ever aspire to––except we all believe we're 99-percenters.

So all you anti-DRM "freaks" out there... what would you suggest I do? Where would YOU guys sell a non-fiction forensic ebook? (The best thing I did was the POD on Amazon by the way)
