Some of the points made at the end are heavily debatable and I would like an opportunity to react.

- Publishers trading the right to still produce books for a percentage deal - was lightheartedly casted away with a "of course this is part of the concessions they have to make" response - that is baffling, buying entirely into the notion that every aspect of an ebook has to be closed down (on the production side and the end consumer level), just to succumb to distribution goals.

- The thread ended with the notion, that "eventually every lock will be broken" - when the entire premise of the argument mounted was - but in the ecosystem we see Amazon currently rolling out - this isnt economical anymore.

Why is the issue being sidelined - why am I not allowed to react to responses made in a factual manner - why is the discussion being killed, after one of the mods produced what I would argue was a reply you give to a newbie, to instill a sense of hierarchy.

I call foul play.
