Have you been reading my posts at all? Are you mixing me up with someone else perhaps?
I have repeatedly stated I am not a fan of DRM, I think it should be gone. I have repeatedly stated I do not think it is effective against piracy. I have repeatedly stated that the issue of DRM is not even the issue I am interested in discussing.
My interest, and what I have a problem with, is the idea that anyone and everyone has the "right" to acquire digital "copies" of the "content" of ebooks simply because the medium is digital and therefore they believe it has zero value.
I have said that the only effective measure against this idea is to educate people about the value of creative endeavours and to instill the idea that paying a fair price for a "decent product" is reasonable. A "decent product", as I have previously stated, being an ebook with out DRM, with full ownership rights, with fair private use being applicable.
I really have no interest in the entire DRM debate.
