What a truly outrageous statement in a thread full of outrageous statements.

At the moment, with or without DRM, I can continue to read books I purchased from Amazon. DRM shouldn't be a tool to *force* me to buy additional copies. It *should* be a tool to prevent unauthorized copying (and which doesn't do a good job of that).
