I thought it was a good analogy myself. What, with discussion of a family-type account where some of the items are clearly owned by a member of the family who is not the purchaser ... and mentioning the credit card "account" to tie it in with an Amazon "account" and all. An illustrative analogy of the concept I was trying to present actually. But wasted on some.

Ah, yes, the virtual dress, which is the exact analogy of virtual media. Does it clothe her virtual nudity when it’s not hanging in her virtual closet? I didn’t realize you were talking about the Sims.

Thank you for confirming that you have zero interest in evolving.

Moreover, it seems to me the “poster child” for removing DRM is someone who removes it for personal archiving or device shifting. Yours is rhetoric too far.

I do share eBooks sometimes with family. To me, it's really no different then sharing a pBook.

Except that ebooks and pbooks are not the same thing or even the same type of thing and it is different. That’s the reality. One’s personal, self-serving take on the situation doesn’t alter it.

I’m not the internet nor the morality police and people can do as they will according to their own lights. However, in discussing issues related to licensing, copyright and DRM on the board, let’s keep it to either or both legalities and the abstract and not the personal, please.

The OP has not returned and perhaps has gotten more help and support than ideal. The discussion is veering where it ought not, so I’m going to close it.
