If ebooks were DRM free, I would still only loan out the books I buy to the same people I loan out my pbooks...
I wouldn't post them up on the net and I wouldn't get them off the net.
Plus, I would probably buy more than I do now...

That's just me I guess....
I've enjoyed this little discussion...I have things to do, but I'll be checking back in...

Later,
I am too Bob, but I also know that is not true of many and you know the old saying "One bad apple.."

I'm all for getting rid of DRM if at all possible, but I'm also an author's rights advocate and unfortunately that involves all kinds of mess laws and other stuff make it work for everyone.

Enjoy.
