@Cinisajoy and @eschwartz. I'm not sure that I disagree with either of you. I am quite content with the present situation. Though I do think that we need to revisit these things sometimes, as the situation is ever-changing, and not in the direction of improving users experience or freedom. I'll even confess to a touch of paranoia on some of these issues. Dare I say that some of the larger players in publishing and related industries sometimes seem to be far less concerned with morality than our community, which, at least as a community, invariably seems to take the high ground. Hence we see Branch Delay's exemplary conduct in relation to the Kindle Jailbreak, and Apprentice Alf's laudable policy in relation to library books and the operation of the Tools. Hopefully this will continue. On reflection, whilst I do think we need to revisit these issues occasionally when changes like this occur, the current situation probably does not warrant doing so now, and I probably should not have brought it up at the moment.
