Thanks for inviting Shane here, Nate. I thought that particular discussion was a very constructive one, with Shane, a nice bloke, explaining really well the decisions and opinions and positions from the angle of a reasonable and passionate publisher juggling customer and client needs and wants. I didn't expect "constructive" - thinking the discussion was helpful for all just in itself - to extend to the removal of DRM, but that's certainly a cherry on top.
Goodonya, Shane!
Thanks not only for the DRM-removal, but even just for participating in the discussion.
Cheers,
Marc
