Steve, looks like we can agree on something
.
I agree regarding the p2p sites. Most of them were set up when the more centralized services like Napster got shut down. They were and are an attempt to circumvent copyright laws.
In general, the best way to get corporations to listen is with our dollars. Unfortunately, too many people are willing to trade convenience for their fair use rights (imho). My personal practice is that I will not buy DRM'd books or music and as far as I can practically avoid it, I will not purchase a reading device that supports DRM (Though I am not going to toss my Jetbook if they start supporting a DRM'd format with a firmware update).
