Yeah, I don't really have a problem with Mickey Mouse staying out of the public domain. I'd prefer that exceptions had been made for certain characters rather than everything getting a 20-year copyright extension over the previous laws, but I'm not going to pull my hair out over it.



Are we talking about e-books or wolves?

There is no "cultural conscience," just your dislike for DRM. Since adding DRM to a single version has zero effect on other versions, I fail to see any problem at all here.
I was going to make a point by point, but I think this isn't actually about DRM but a cultural rift. Let me ask you, and I think it will be answer enough, are you American?
