Hmm.

All the files I have ever downloaded meet these 8 basic rights I have as a reader.

1) My sony is not activated. I never connect it to an online PC.

2) I tell it what to do.

3) I can make as many annotations, highlights and additions as I like.

4) Of course I own the files I download.

5) They are certainly censorship resistant.

6) DRM is evil, I won’t allow it.

7) Information wants to be free.

8) All files are either plain text, basic HTML or RTF.

Freedom is easy to find when you know where to look or it!
