well, i think you may well be in the minority here, particularly if you're saying that only the presence of drm prevents you from sharing library books with your mother...

While you may not mean it, I really didn't appreciate the tone of your response.
It sounds like an attack of what you perceive to be my lack of values and promotion of yours.
To being with, you misquoted me from the start...I said "tempted", I didn't say "would"..all I was trying to to point out is that drm is a deterrent for many. For example, I know many people who occasionally share mp3s with friends...because the lack of drm doesn't make them think twice that what they may be doing is wrong. I'll ask how they like something and the response is "I can make you a copy". (And for the record, I still buy my music).
I think our values are the same..I value authors, musicians, libraries..heck, I even still make purchases at bookstores because I like browsing them. What I don't agree with is that the rest of the world necessarily shares the same (or that mobileread forum members necessarily represent the larger mass market)
