DRM is a consumer fraud, a loathsome white-collar crime in the moral sense at the least—just a fancier equivalent of stealing a pair of boots. You are only renting, not “buying,” despite what our ads may say or imply. On our site, therefore, we’ll follow the example of Fictionwise as shown in the above image. That is, we’ll spell out the rights that you have or don’t have in your use of books that publishers force us to DRM. Why should we cover up for them? Here’s to informed consumers!
