... or the corps might decide that there isn't any demand because no one's buying the (hobbled) product they're offering. In which case the process of having ebooks at all is slowed up.
There are a whole range of perfectly logical, perfectly defensible conclusions to draw from the DRM mess, that's exactly
why it's such a mess. It's hard to convince anyone that their logical, defensible conclusion is inferior to your own, when all of the conclusions depend on perceived facts we can't conclusively demonstrate. (sigh)
(Note that I'm
not saying you're wrong nor even that I disagree with you.)
That's what makes it all so frustrating.
I'm afraid that it can't help but be a long, painful road before we arrive at e-book utopia.
