That's not, strictly speaking, a legal issue ... unless one wants to wander into the possible anti-trust aspects of it.  |
Hell, they are aggressively defending the effectiveness of the DRM of OTHER publishers to prevent those books from being viewed on a Kindle.
It's really dipping way down into the bottom of the barrel.
To top it off ... Mobileread hasn't done anything illegal!! I would hazard a guess that a fair number of MR's members and lurkers aren't even residents of the United States.
Good grief ... do they even understand that, like it or not, a whole lot of Kindles are now owned by persons who are neither citizens nor residents of the US?? Seriously, how do they plan to enforce the DMCA in those cases??
