Open Source culture to blame for e-book piracy!

An interesting article discussed on Slashdot this morning.

Quote:
"CNN published an article entitled 'Digital Piracy Hits the e-Book Industry.' It quotes the following statement by novelist Sherman Alexie: 'With the open-source culture on the Internet, the idea of ownership — of artistic ownership — goes away. It terrifies me.'"
I couldn't read the CNN article (WebSense is on), but the discussion on Slashdot is robust as always
