I didn't mention it only because the last time I suggested that as a solution, I was threatened by the moderators with a permanent ban. But honestly, I would consider the process of removing DRM to be a "hoop". Much easier to simply get electronic media that is unencumbered in the first place.

You can talk about removing DRM, but you cannot give any details how to do it. You can give the URL to the Apprentice Alf blog. |

That's not what the moderators told me. I talked about it in general terms just like you're doing now, and I was told in no uncertain terms that I would be permanently banned if I ever mentioned it again, so I have been very wary of the topic since.

It has changed over time. When I first got here, you could mention DRM removal, but not post the link. You had to give suggestions for searching to get there.

Interesting. I was told I wasn't even allowed to say that much, that merely mentioning it was considered promoting piracy and was grounds for a permaban. Maybe the moderator was just in a bad mood that day?

The easiest way to lend digital books to a friend is to simply strip out the DRM and email the file to them. [My bold.] You went way beyond merely mentioning the stripping of DRM, as can be seen from your quote. Harry's response to you was quite appropriate. |

Moderator Notice
Do not discuss moderation on the board. Especially don’t misrepresent moderation on the board. I checked the post in question and what you advocated was sharing copyrighted material with friends, which goes far beyond “talk[ing] about it in general terms” and is entirely unethical and has always been in violation of MR Guidelines. End of discussion about DRM removal. Last edited by issybird; 05-09-2020 at 03:37 PM. |

There's a massive difference between fair use/interoperability and piracy.
