The DMCA doesn't even require there to be any possibility of a copyright violation. All it does is make it impossible for the consumer to continue to use digital media they have purchased. That's it .... nothing more. It doesn't stop pirates, doesn't stop copyright violations ... just makes the typical consumer a criminal.
And, it is going to ... not singlehandedly but with the assistance of corporations such as Amazon ... kill digital publishing. And those of us who love to read are the losers.
Gee, thanks, Jeff!!
