Terisa next time you are trying to be sarcastic, you might as well not misquote me. I never said easily. They 've figured it out pretty easily how to sell books in print globally, go through customs hassle free, etc. etc. That was even harder than the ebook story.

Yes sure it was a piece of cake that's why it was beyond belief back then by the press and the stakeholders that music would ever be drm free. That's why everyone and their brother was developing drm standards, including tec giant microsoft.
Excuse me but I can have any book sent over to me from amazon globally but somehow I don't have the same righ to download globally? How did they overcome the minefield of customs, taxes, global trade rules of selling print books worldwide and they can't do so in ebooks?
