I found this interesting, particularly as a number of authors are now going down the self publish path.

Hatchette talks about their role of providing the author with access to the widest possible customer base possible, yet mentions DRM and territorial restrictions almost in the same breath.

Worth a look as it provides some insight to how a mainstream publisher currently considers their role in the economy to be.
